Hey guys so I want your guys opinion on a muffler delete I'm considering for my 2015 328i (just posted about cosmetic mods so I wanted to make this a separate thread). I want my car to be louder and have nice burples. I'm not interested in any boot mods atm. Anyways a muffler delete is relatively cheap in comparison to say a high performance exhaust system. Does anyone know how much the car might drone? I'be also heard changing the downpipe might bring out more crackles and pops. Lmk!

I have a 13' 328i with an electronic exhaust cut out right before the muffler. So basically it bypasses the muffler when I want and then I close it and it runs thru the stock exhaust again. I had bootmod3 before I installed. Regardless, I think it sounds pretty nice. Not ricey like a muffler delete on a Civic or something. You probably won't get much burble without a tune that has that option but you'll get some when revving pretty high.

As for drone, in between 2k-3k rpm is when it is loudest but cruising at highway speeds 65-80mph, there is almost no drone. louder than stock but nothing that's going to make you regret it. You can easily hold a conversation with someone and also listen to music without having to blast it.

Hope this helps
