06 330i muffler delete with magnaflow tip VIDEO!

Beamin · 04-15-2013, 03:04 PM

Recently did a muffler delete and just wanted to post to see what you guys thought of the sound. $140 with tips installed. Broke college kid so this was awesome!

NJ Krish · 04-15-2013, 03:48 PM

Congratz! Digging the sound and look especially for that price. Is there any drone?

Donia330i · 04-15-2013, 05:01 PM

Lol, I have never heard a muffler delete with no drone.

But again, drone is subjective.

more or less a "boomy" sound. Kind of resembles a deep bass sound from a subwoofer which is constantly emitting.

I did the muffler delete too. Drone tends to happen between 1k-2.7k rpm, which is kind of unfortunate cause thats where the auto shift points are at.

If anything the drone is just kind of embarrassing, cause it makes it difficult to have a conversation just driving around town (It's got me thinking about finding a cheap magnaflow to cut down on the drone). It's loads of fun at first, but after a month or so the drone is probably gonna start getting on your nerves

I do not notice drone....I don't think. One thing I don't like it when ever I push on it and it gets up over 4000rpms some really high pitched sound comes out of no where. Sounds broken

BoogeyMan'sBMW · 04-18-2013, 01:08 PM

when you are on the highway and trying to accelerate in 6th (going 55-60) and you wanna kill yourself thats drone

assuming you have AT

thefull9yards · 04-18-2013, 05:38 PM

Sounds good! BTW drone only really happens when you're stuck going at one speed normally around 2-3k ish.

kudos · 04-20-2013, 09:35 AM

Cruise control is your friend.

cuiter23 · 04-20-2013, 01:50 PM

Drone will be in a different range for different exhausts. I have drone from 2-2.5k outside of that it is stock sounding, no sound at all. As OP said, a muffler delete will tend to drone from 1k-2.7k. Really depends. As time passes, either you'll get used to it, or you'll hate it and put the muffler back on.

Uptownclown · 04-22-2013, 11:44 AM

This sounds great! Im actually looking to get a Muffler Delete on my 328XI.. I just dont know what I will be getting myself into because theres ALOT of mixed feedback on this infamous "Drone" which I dont even know how it sounds... Anyway, I wanna try it... I guess I could always have the muffler welded back on if its THAT bad

anybody correct me if Im wrong....

I still don't notice the drone. You just can't push on it so it stops yor from flooring it

Uptownclown · 04-24-2013, 05:32 AM

Wait... so wit a muffler delete u cant floor it??

It could just be my set up with the Magnaflow tips but when ever the rpms go above 4000 in a lower gear I get a sound that brings the cats out of the gutter its really loud and ricey does not sound like a car should make that sound. But the gurgling it makes when it automatically downshifts in DS mode are orgasmic

cuiter23 · 04-24-2013, 06:07 PM

you will lose a substantial amount of torque doing muffler delete... Especially with the 335i. That is why I recommend a free flow exhaust.

328 doesn't have a substantial amount of torque to begin with, you'll be fine.

Turbo cars are more picky about having back pressure than NA cars. Loss of torque from doing a muffler delete on a 328 shouldn't be all that noticable.

BTW, your AA exhaust is basically a muffler delete. A very expensive muffler delete.

Definitely not substantial, I wouldn't think I would be able to tell before/after anyway lol. You will also shed lbs which will help with acceleration.

The AA exhaust comes with a resonator, or you can call it a "small" muffler. Not exactly a muffler delete and it is a lot tamer. Muffler delete is LOUD... inside and outside. Not sure if its appropriate for a 328i hahah.
