Any drone?
It should help increase the sound because you will be getting rid of your cats. It may be more raspy.

i think you hsould just have went with a louder exhaust like the vangaurd. Or you can add catless downpipes and it'll be very loud.

Will adding mid pipes make a noticeable difference
Should I dive into the water the rest of the way, ... Or do most people stop at the mufflers? |

I have an xi and just added the catless dp to stock exhaust. With the golf tee mod you can hear it, especially with the windows down. So if your axle back isn't loud enough, do the dp and you should love it plus the added performance

Get a downpipe and a resonator and you will have the best sounding exhaust possible

Hi,
If you check realoem you will see that n54 exhaust has resonator whilst it would appear that n55 mid section has no resonator only the x pipe. I have a n54 performance exhaust and it came with mid pipes. It might be that yr n55 wouldn't benefit from mid pipes as you may have x pipe already. |

e90 n54 performance exhaust comes with an x-pipe that attaches to your midpipes (which have the secondary cats). It did not come with midpipes.

Well, that x pipe is not included in n55 version I believe due to that n55 has only one cat versus three for n54 E92 performance mufflers never got that x pipe neither Only n54 e90 I'm original OP Took a long journey to figure out why I never got mid pipes X pipes. Whatever In conclusion N55 e90 is cat back In other words. Only the mufflers no addtl pipes Sound did get a lot louder after 2 k miles I'm happy
