hi guys.. i have something to ask.. does the muffler delete make the air which come out from the pipe a little bit smelly?? sorry for my bad english

UdubBadger · 02-15-2010, 10:05 AM

no it has nothing to do with smell. only sound.

c_jeong89 · 02-15-2010, 11:17 AM

if you delete you secondary cats you might have a little smell if any

IancoleTX · 02-15-2010, 08:38 PM

I think I have set a new record low price - got mine done for $100 including tips. Sounds like an absolute BEAST with the CAI.

UdubBadger · 02-15-2010, 09:18 PM

panpon · 02-16-2010, 04:04 AM

So, I have Magnaflow mufflers sitting here in the original box and I cant decide what do to...should I install these or do a muffler delete?

Thoughts?

Robben@ltbmw · 03-22-2010, 08:07 PM

if i install an aftermarket muffler or do a muffler delete, will i pass the smog check?

alpha325i · 03-26-2010, 10:43 AM

Magnaflow tips - $60
Labor - $70

mark9661 · 05-23-2015, 05:37 PM

Did you ever get this done and what was/is the sound like?

MKR · 05-26-2015, 09:20 PM

Paid 150$ for muffler, resonator and secondary cat delete. They used the stock tip.

carsonc10 · 03-23-2017, 02:58 PM

I know this is an old thread but I just got quoted $225 to cut the muffler out weld a stainless s pipe and two stainless tips. Went to 4 shops 2 said they wouldn't even do it this one and meineke said "buck fifty to two". Anyone know any good shops to check out for cheaper in Boston area?

shenanigans01 · 03-23-2017, 07:59 PM

My local, Atlanta, BMW Indy is doing mine for $200 with tips I purchased separately.

Pidipompi · 05-03-2017, 12:28 AM

$140 for me, local NorCal.

I know this is late but F that. Lou'd custom exhaust any of them will be cheaper.

You want to delete your muffler? Get a hacksaw, saw it off, goto shop and buy a tip for $40 and pay them $50 in labor. In general Lou's seems to charge $25 per weld. You are getting two welds, one where you hacked it off, one on the new pipe for the tip.

Personally muffler deletes are kind of stupid. You are making your car sound loud for no reason other than to be loud. It's not going to make you any faster, just noise pollution. Leave that shit for Hondas.
