That's plenty noise for me.

I did resonator and muffler delete, then xpipe and straight back to the tips. Love the sound

Did you get it installed yet? If so, what are your thoughts?

[bloppitybloop]

I just got my x-pipe installed. It makes the car a little louder but nothing crazy.

I did a resonator and muffler delete. Looking to put an xpipe but I don't know if the exhaust will sound cleaner

I've read a few other older threads about resonator deletes and/or secondary cat deletes. From what I found it sounds like the most mild/subtle change to more aggressive goes like this (assuming everything else in exhaust is stock, of course with downpipes each option would be louder):

replace resonator with x pipe (little/no drone) < replace resonator with two straight pipes (louder maybe a little/moderate drone?)< replace secondary cats with xpipe (little/no drone but louder than prior options)

Also sounds like leaving the stock resonator reduces Drone but if you remove secondary cats and replace with straight pipe or x pipe would be louder more aggressive vs doing the same with the resonator but less drone?

can anyone confirm or Deny what i listed above? I'm revisiting doing one of the above again but don't want to go the trial and error route if possible.

catless dp, 2nd cats, xpipe, vibrant res, muff delete, mhd burble, dewhel bov, bms dci, and NO rattle fix. mild drone at 70mph but totally bearable.

I know the last post was a few months ago. I just bought an exhaust last weekend that has the PE mod. Difference in my case is minimal at idle however it's definitely a deep tone and a little louder than my stock one. With that said, I still wanted it a little louder but nothing obnoxious. I've heard the PE mod on a lot of coupes and it's louder than mine and sounds really good and I know the e92's have the x pipe where e90's have a resonator instead.

I've been searching a lot and saw where people replaced the resonator with an aftermarket x pipe and just purchased one that is 2.25" at each inlet/outlet. I've seen some people use 2.5" and I believe some used 2.25". I thought the factory exhaust was 2.25"? Will this work or does anyone think there would be a noticeable difference between using one that is 2.25" vs 2.5" ?

What size did everyone use here?

[YoungBlood]

2.25 fit perfect

+1 for 2nd cat delete +x-pipe

[jskin1510]

I want to make sure it still has a deep tone and not raspy. I figured the x pipe is the first step, see how that sounds, if I want more could always delete the 2nd cat's from there. unless leaving the resonator and replacing 2nd cats with an x pipe would be better? I feel like leavin cats in help avoid having the rasp or bad tones of the exhaust sound.

Sounds a little louder than stock but absolutely no drone.

Got clips of it ?
