Eh? It is written on the title of the video: ER downpipe and M Performance Exhaust (MPE)
I would like to remove the resonator (I've got a proposal by SuperSprint for all central line), but I'm afraid of possible "drone" at low revs at normal highway speed....

Muffler delete drones when not under hard acceleration. 2.5-3k RPM rattles my lumbar and other pieces of the interior.

I concur. A buddy of mine has a muffler delete on his F30 and I can't stand the droning on the highway cruising

But you mean the central resonator or the final muffler delete?

Final muffler delete. I know this is about resonator delete but just thought i'd share my thoughts with folks that were considering going the whole 9.

Ah ok, but my dilemma is about central resonator delete, keeping both stock DP and MPE...

The folks with MPE + Res Delete and/or Res Delete + DP.. would you mind posting a video of your cabin sound or atleast sharing your thoughts?

MPE is very quiet and want to make it louder by a solid 15% without the drone.

I removed my resonator on my car and during the first couple days I didn't notice too much of a difference. I did notice a bit more exhaust sounds while in the lower 1500-3000 rpm range though.

However, after about 500km over the past week, it sounds sooooo much better. It definitely continues to growl louder mainly in the same lower rpm range (sounds fantastic!!) and just a tad bit louder when in the higher rpm ranges (I've only gone up to 4500 rpm or so as my car is still new) .

I also do notice the pops and burbles a bit more when I release the throttle which I love. And cold starts are definitely much louder.

I would have to say that for the $150 cost, it was extremely well worth it as it definitely makes driving a ton more enjoyable! Especially as I now don't need to floor it or get up to really high revs to get the sound I want. I'm sure I could have gotten the resonator removed for half the price but I went with a reputable company I trusted as opposed to a shady shop with mixed reviews.

Oh, and the most important thing, no drone!!

For the record, I have the mppk, mp intake and mpe.

Did you just remove the resonator? Are the mufflers and downpipe stock? Any other mods in the video?

Mine is modded stock exhaust with DP and res delete, not exactly what you're looking for but it should give you a good idea.

You used the JB weld to shut the holes in muffler right?
I'll check it out
How are you liking it?
I think I might if I can find a stock muffler for sale, that way I don't have to cut it open and all that
