Of course my first thing to post and say is just be patient and save up for the PE, its really worth the money. Secondly I guess start with removing 2nd cats and resonator and run the stock rear section. I really dont think it will accomplish much. I would talk to muffler shop and just have them weld up a universal rear section and some tips and be done with it, its cheap and will less restrictive then what you're running now.

drop 2nd cats, swap stk muff for a maganflow (theres 2 or 3 choices for our cars) and if you still have money left over have them fab you up a y pipe in place of the resonator.
BMW made a mid pipe for a while, it was 400-500 bux i believe (dont quote me) but your muffler shop should be able to make you one for 350 or so. Dont pay more than 75-100 bux to delete the 2nd cats, and 150-185 for the muffler install & tip install. The magnaflow mufflers are around 180-220 new

PE is intoxicating. Best upgrade so far for me. Never gets old.

PE muffler is different than stock muffler + res delete = perfect sound IMO & I have had both a Remus Quad & Ikon system installed before the PE to compare to. Ikon muffler had closest sound to PE - but I had to delete the res to get that sound. With the res still in place the Ikon did not sound as good...

The stock exhaust has a 2 into 1 resonator. If you want to remove the resonator you need a y-pipe in place of it.

i did a dual exhaust setup like the 335's, used 2 magnaflow 4" tips and the 10758 y pipe and deleted my muffler,
no noticable low end torque lost and sound is awesome |

I don't see why people like the PE because it doesn't do it for me. If I am going to throw money down on exhaust, I want it to scream. That's me. I will be doing a muffler and resonator delete in the near future. My state and county requires a muffler for a visual inspection on the car, so I will be purchasing a cherry bomb shorty glasspack and hollowing it and using it as the muffler. Cheaper than any other pre-fabbed exhaust on the market and louder than any of them too! I expect, with instillation, to be in the exhaust between $350-500 as the glasspack is almost $50 at a local autoparts.
I say go with that, or a similar set up. But if you don't enjoy exhaust in place of your radio, this might not be for you. |

I know that you said you didnt like muffler delete and I was skeptical about it from the videos, but I got bored and just decided to do it and I am so pleased at the sound and volume level I achieved while spending only $75.
Like i seriously would recommend it to everyone. I didnt delete the resonator for fear it would be too loud and it is perfect deleting only the muffler. I LOVE mine. I think the videos give wrong conclusion bc basically none of them have audio taken from a high quality mic. just my opinion though. mine doesnt "scream" yet sounds so perfect and is so far from ricey. There is a small crackle when you let off the gas in 1-3rd (6mt). I couldnt be happier. $25 Y with dual 3" tips $50 local exhaust shop custom pipe. I dont find the PE worth the same amount as a decent set of coilovers. I experience no noticeable torque loss, no highway drone, basically stock volume at under 2k rpm while driving, only loud when its pulling and a grin on my face everytime i start my car and pass a median/wall/truck/anything that reflects the sound at me. Only downside is the loss of mpg i experianced ONLY bc i leave my car in lower gears just to hear the exhaust.
