E92 335i's dont have an x pipe

only things you can delete are the resonators, primary cats, or secondary cats

No I'm pretty sure he's right. Unless I have an e90 exhaust on my car.

should make it louder but not as loud as an aftermarket exhaust (obviously)

kay
its all good then

E90 = resonators
E92 = x-pipe

I have heard it will make the exhaust minimally louder, because the X-pipe does not restrict flow that much. Just there to cut down on drone.

You are correct.
And, yes, if you get rid fo the X pipe then it will be louder but I don't know if it's the sound that you want.
It will definitely make it raspier.

No its not. For a short time I had just straight pipe on my E90 and it DID NOT sound good. It was louder, yes, but the sound quality was not good, kinda sounded like a motor boat.

E92 doesn't have X-pipe it has H-pipe ...

it will not be much louder unless you remove your second cats ...

I know what you're trying to say but I would consider it to be more of an x pipe instead of an H pipe.

H pipes usually have a descent sized pipe connecting each pipes where as the OEM connector (which I consider to be the X pipe) has more characteristics of an X pipe.

Good luck with that. Stock up on Advil.

karliejai · 04-04-2008, 01:32 PM

removing the x-pipe would just be a TAD raspier. if ur gonna remove anything, do the second cat.
