MMW: CS Muffler - Installed pics

e90pilot · 10-13-2010, 09:22 PM

Dude... Seriously... You're killing be with the shifting, lol!

c_jeong89 · 10-13-2010, 10:18 PM

haha it may be hard to tell what the actual exhaust sounds like inside bc the afe intake is really loud inside the cabin.

AlpineSwift · 10-13-2010, 11:00 PM

That intake alone makes the cabin sound mean with the windows up. Personally I'm not a fan now of the MMW muffler without the res delete. Sounds very plain and boring without that extra grunt. Just my .02

Sorry ;p I got a 6MT for only 2 months now and really have a hard time making buttersmooth 1-2 and sometimes 2-3 shifts. Anyway I havent made the videos for show; just wanted to share the sound I got with Craven's exhaust. It was a one take video with no pretentions ;p

Exactly. I wanted to push it a little more to show the exhaust's sound, but with windows up, you only hear the engine. And that's why its called City Sleeper eheh.

With windows down, you can hear it more; but on the revving video, its really all exhaust sound.

Drive-by videos are coming, I did those in a hurry last night before today's appointment. I hope they still give a good idea of what you get; except for the shifts ;p

Sounds good, doesn't sound much louder than stock. Not at all ricey or boomy. Is it really not much louder than stock or is it the limitation of the mic in the camera? Thanks for taking the time to install the muffler and share your results.

He is running it with just the muffler swapped out, and still has the resonator in and the 2nd cats in place.

It offers a nice subtle growl with his setup now, once the midpipes go in it will liven up for those that want more sound

c_jeong89 · 10-14-2010, 04:49 PM

i think with any exhaust setup the secondaries and res should be removed

. just don't do it with a muffler delete lol

MaximusJ · 10-15-2010, 09:30 AM

2nd cat / res / muffler delete is a pure cop magnet. Period.

Cant wait for those midpipes

coolicarboy · 10-21-2010, 07:55 PM

For the guys who have this muffler with the res delete, do you get that popping/gurgling sound?

Alexander · 10-21-2010, 08:14 PM

Craven you need boost!

335imax · 10-25-2010, 09:34 AM

Im getting my muffler from Craven this week! This thing sounds Great! Thanks for sharing!

coolicarboy · 10-27-2010, 11:31 AM

Im getting ready to order this muffler. Once I have it installed, im gonna upload plenty of videos with a res delete.

335imax · 10-27-2010, 12:04 PM

Craven's muffler mod is a suttle difference over stock. A little bit lower sounding, does not drone at all. (Not much louder than stock If you leave all the other exhaust components installed)

overkill1125 · 01-20-2011, 12:04 AM

Where are the new videos? Need new ones with different setups to show and hear the difference. Many have gotten this muffler but with more vids to prove itself than I wou
D think more of us would buy this muffler including myself. No afe or injen intakes in new videos as we will hear more of the intake than the muffler itself. Much appreciated!

SuperAwesome · 01-20-2011, 12:51 AM

how about some videos with this muffler on with atleast a RES delete please.. anyone

I will try and post a video of mine today. I have one from inside the car with the windows down.

benzo23 · 01-20-2011, 10:20 AM

craven, do you re do the piping inside? like some do on the m3? or is it just a matter of removing the insulation? Ive never even seen the inside of a n52 muffler. I guess what im trying to ask is whats the difference on the inside from stock and a PE?

We totally change the piping inside and add/remove stuffing in places of the muffler.

The stock is bulky and very restrictive, so we fix that problem with new piping similar to the BMW PE but not exactly the same. So they wont sound the same as a PE will, its a different setup but very effective

Juan.sidarta · 01-20-2011, 11:18 AM

Did you Mod the OEM exhaust? Sounds good

, btw you should name it BMW Craven Performance Exhaust:P
