SWEET sounding exhaust (imo) // 2008 N52 Resonator and Muffler Delete

^Sauce to the video
After doing a muffler delete, it just didn't sound like it was... growly enough. I decided to go back to the shop, do a resonator delete as well then this magical sound happened!
I personally think it sounds great for a total under $300 and it cracks and pops like theres no tomorrow now that I've had it for longer than this video was made.

Well, let me know what you guys think! And what exhaust setup are you guys rocking?

Not bad! I do like that it's relatively quite within the cabin. The engine's air suck seems to overtake it under full acceleration which leads me to believe you haven't turned it obnoxious.

The N52, IMO, sounds best with the performance exhaust.

Does it drone? I feel like no resonator and no muffler drones quite a bit.

I have the rogue Ikon exhaust and it sounds really nice, it's a nice deep burble and it does not drone. However it is a little on the quieter side, I've had my Ikon for 6 months now. It's time for a change. I will be getting a resonator delete this Friday.

Hopefully res delete + Ikon exhaust = ferrari sound lol

Thanks! I completely agree; i'd get the performance exhaust if I had money to blow though!

I say go for it! Honestly, it does drone quite a bit, but its tolerable. Definitely worth it when you're taking back roads and have the windoes down lol

But let me know how that comes out! I'd love to hear how it sounds.
