Resonator Delete N55

kd0t · 01-27-2015, 03:44 PM

I just wanted to say thanks to all who posted here. It was because of the videos I went ahead and got my resonator deleted and picked up a downpipe!

I am amazed!!

Might be a dumb question, but how does this affect lease-end return? Is there a way to weld the resonators back in?

Yup, cut the straight pipe and weld the resonator back into place.

Did this today with MPE and I have to say it sound stellar!! A little louder and no drone.. Got some burbles and pops when shifting fast. Thanks to the OP. This is a great way to make MPE sound better. $100 at the local muffler shop.

Please, romanonj, can you post a video? I'm really interested!
In EcoPro mode it remains quiet?

They aren't putting the car on a lift. At least that's never happened to me on any of my returns. I'd leave it out unless something is said. Highly unlikely that they would even know.

Looking for a used DP!!

I'm tempted to do the resonator delete but seeing my car is leased, not sure about it. Obviously I can always re-weld the resonator back on if/when i return the car, but will they care that it was removed and re-attached? hmmmmm

They won't even know.

For those who have the MPE and the resonator delete did it increase the burbles? Is it a deeper rumble over all? How much increase in sound? 5%,10%,15%?

Also interested! If anyone has a vid with resonator delete and MPE that would be great!

Oh wow thanks for pointing that out.

Sounds mad!

Would love to hear it when the car is warmed up.

I love my MPE exhaust as it is, quite keen to try this mod out for the heck of it though :P

I have stock exhaust 335i with resonator delete and Catless downpipes. Its a bit drony at 2k rpms so you gotta modulate the throttle more on the highway before it gets annoying. Its livable in DD but on long trips I wouldn't want it. I want people to be aware of this before they go catless and no resonators. My suggestion is keep the resonators on if your on stock exhaust. I might go aftermarket custom exhaust so i don't mind just need to hold off for a bit.

So is it the resonator delete, or downpipe which causing the drone? I would think the downpipe?

Its combination of both but the DP more so.

kenny714hb · 03-13-2015, 02:59 PM

does anyone have a video with dp and resonator off with the stock exhaust? not MPE.

Buckeyes · 03-13-2015, 03:29 PM

Man, I'm tempted to do this but my mpe is sounding just about perfect.
