Help with muffler delete

kdbryce · 04-28-2011, 05:34 PM

I'm hoping to go ahead and do a muffler delete on my e92 328

does it bring any warning lights up or ruin my warranty?

thanks

Just did mine....(e92 335i), search for my posts, I have a sound clip of it as well under my muffler delete post. I have had zero issues, no warning lights and spoke to my SA at the dealership and he said it was good to go....

are you happy with it? is it terribly loud on the highway?

I am happy with it....I dig the tone of it however, my likes may be different than yours or others....there is a drone on the highway at speed but I like the noise, that coupled with the intake whistle suits me just fine!!!

And if it gets annoying for you, just turn up the radio.

thanks again, man

No worries, good luck!

A muffler delete will Not produce any warning lights.

There is more cabin drone obviously but the sound of the exhaust note is a lot of fun.

With tips you will look at spending around $150-200 depending on what your shop charges

His 328i will sound alot different than the 335i thought wont it? Also have read about some torque loss with muffler deletes on NA engines.

guerilla twang · 05-02-2011, 07:48 PM

I've experienced absolutely no loss of anything. Except weight.

xoxoluvcrisxoxo · 05-06-2011, 02:51 PM

i noticed a TINYYY bit of loss in low rpms around 2k. but other than that. I LOVE MY MD!!!!! in cruise control it doesnt drone hardcore and if it does the radio def helps. hahah

Just seems like changing out the muffler would be much better than to lose any torque on the 328. It's low enough as is. Why not a magnaflow muffler?

AlpineSwift · 05-06-2011, 04:15 PM

I gained torque, kids. As long as you keep the resonator you shouldn't get screwed for power. More horsepower and torque over stock for less than a used PBX. Can't go wrong.

c_jeong89 · 05-06-2011, 05:19 PM

I've had the MD for a couple months now and I can safely say that I don't feel any loss in power from before. If there is any loss of power I for sure can't feel it.
