exhaust help with x-pipe or H-pipe
theres only about 3 - 4 threads about midpipes on this forum. and i want some answer quick from some expert
i am hoping that my eisenmann sports exhaust(section 3) will come in tomorrow and i can get it in stall at the shop. 1) coming from the DP for the e90, does the resonator or the 2nd cat comes first? 2) if i want custom mid-pipes, H-pipes is louder and deeper than X-pipes? 3) do people usually cut the 2nd cat out or the resonator out? i feel SOOO confused on this... i don't even know what kind of questions to ask so i guess i will keep asking as it goes.

1. Cats first
2. H will be louder, X will be deeper...choose wisely 3. usually the cats, but some both Have an exhaust shop make an X-pipe center for you to go w/ the Eisenman |

no secondary cats might sound too raspy. Hit up Mr.5...his sounds really nice. Pretty sure he has high flow catted DPs, 2nd cats in tact and an x pipe where the resonators used to be

I have an x-pipe but it is not raspy. It is deep, so during low RPMs, I get vibration due to the resonance.
