Muffler Delete

Looking for thoughts on how a catless downpipe 435 sounds with a muffler delete. Along with good muffler bypass options that aren't 800 bucks. I'm not happy with how quite the car is while idling that's why I've been thinking about a muffler delete what are your thoughts?

If you have catless, i recommend getting an axle back.

Active Autowerke axle back is very popular for us and is very reasonably priced.

My 335i has a catless dp, muffler delete, with stock mid pipe. Its loud, neighbors will hear cold starts. Idle and cruising speed is actually fairly tame, but once you get on the throttle it sounds so good. Iv'e been trying to get a good video of the exhaust note on my phone, but my phone can't handle the volume.

Stock mid pipe really helps with drone and such.

Would love to get an axel back but I don't see the point in spending $1,000 or more on it when I don't mind drone or the car being loud.

Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for thanks for the input! If you ever do get a sound clip send it my way please!

The stock muffler is straight through flow, and has handled over 600whp with big turbo kits. Just some food for thought.

This. Stock exhaust design is quite efficient.

If you just want more volume, modify the stock muffler for "free".

I thought a muffler delete was cool until I did it. The drone is really bad. Try a resonator delete first.
