hey, do any of you local sac guys have a muffler delete on your 335i? Or know of any one who does, who could spare a few minutes one day?
I've heard the sound clips and it sounds quite good (to me at least), but I would like to hear one in person. To get an idea of the idle, accelaration, and the drone. especially since it seems like members on the forum seem to either love it or hate it.

^^ Heard it on someones car in the bay. Drones bad. If you drives on the highway at all, I'd stay away. Being that you occasionally visit Newman, that tells me you do. Not recommended.
A year ago, no one in Sac had it. Maybe you'll find someone now. |

the thing about me is that not all drone bothers me. for instance i use to have a 97 mustang GT with flow master exhaust... that drone annoyed me alot. then i had a 99 trans am ws6 with SLP exhaust, it also had drone but that was a pleasure to hear. i am just wondering how the 335i sounds in person. how do you like yours jay? i assume you like it alot since you had it on two cars now? what other exhaust mods do you guys do for more sound? with out breaking the bank (other than the DIY disconectiong of the one plug)? since i would rather use those $1300+ on other mods (such as mtech or m3 front/sideskirts and tune/meth)

Funny... this is truly a very subjective matter. The person in the bay said he liked it too. Then months later, he got an exhaust. I did the golf tee which was okay. I then went to a bastuck dual exhaust. I thought it was too quiet and thus sold it. I never had it with catless downpipes and later heard it made all the difference. I now have magnaflow mufflers with Cyba quads. It's a bit more aggressive than stock. It has little drone. Causes a little vibration around 2k rpm so I had to soundproof the rear center tray so it wouldn't rattle. I also drive in ds mode in town which minimizes the 2k range. Overall, I'm content now.

i hate waiting for shipping. Need some matte grills, some lux headlights, vinyl wrap to get things started? maybe even the bay area if the price is right. |

I think LTBMW has a shop in the Bay Area if you are willing to drive there.

Has anyone one ever had any coding done to their car? I would be interested in having some things done, anyone know a local coder that could help me out?

CasperSYTFU can code but he's in the Bay Area....maybe if we have enough interest we could get him to come to Sac.

man the way you guys keep describing your cars, sure makes me wanna see them... i feel so inferior being so... well... "stock"
Quote:
I suppose i could try the muffler delete and if i dont like it, just go the cat delete with aftermarket mufflers route. well in other news the mod bug just bit me, i just got a used procede v4/v5 (with the harness update done), it is already vin locked. but i thought a price of 465 was fair enough even counting the $150 v5 unlock cost... (hopefully i wasn't ripped off)... so now my issue is, I cant install it right away (for a few more weeks) is there anyother way to tell if it is working properly with out installing it?

let's say:
Amber gone mirrors, windows Angle eyes only for DRL digital speedo is that necessary to hook up the car to a charger during the coding? oh btw, what is the ball park are we looking at for coding?

Okay so I went to go check out a 2010 m-tech e92 335i with 9k miles tonight and the only thing really holding me back from pulling the trigger was that it does not have Navigation and this used to be a major turning point but after thinking about it I'm will to lose it cause the car was a beauty!
So my question is, if you have a navi, is it a must have for you? Or can you live without it?
