Muffler delete

Bryan_Rivera · 01-31-2011, 07:37 PM

What's the real thoughts on muffler delete for 328i some say it's to loud and not the right way to do it some say the sound is great ??

kred · 01-31-2011, 09:12 PM

i think its great. i was worried as well before i got it done but $140 out the door was too good to pass up. i came from a g35 and was missing some sound!

Evil E90 · 01-31-2011, 09:27 PM

I had it on my E90 330i for two weeks before taking it off. It was way too loud. BMW is suppose to be classy not ricey. I'm all for adding some sound to the exhaust note but a muffler delete is like mud butt from the tail pipes. I say try it if you really want to see how loud and annoying it is. The good thing is it should be cheap. No more then $150 for parts and labor.

Here is my E90 330i with a magnaflow muffler and a res delete.

i also came from a g35, and boy do i miss that sound! and im still deciding if i should get a delete or like a magnaflow muffler

if you want to sound like a ricer and roll wit the Hondas....then go for it. otherwise, get a proper exhaust system, delete the res, and roll with BMWs.

End of story.

TommyK · 02-05-2011, 03:15 PM

its fun

to have the delete it will or might get old after a while so having a back up plan is always good.

if you do it, keep the resonator in because it will just be too loud

FVM3 · 02-05-2011, 06:11 PM

if you want some aggressive sound, go for it, delete resonator too

How about those m3s with some exhaust like eisenmann race? its even louder then a 325/328/330 with straight pipe!

Here my car honestly it just as loud as the M3's i wouldnt say its louder tho at all.

Lol dont worry about the sound .. i did it on my E90 LCI 328i.. too.. it sounds Deep nd Great man...Just delete the muffler only

AlpineSwift · 02-06-2011, 01:53 AM

The resonator delete really makes the drone pick up from what I understand. I'm kind of tempted to delete it just to see the difference in sound but I'm gonna wait till the weather clears up a bit.

That VQ engine is just a monster with test pipes and an invidia exhaust. I drove a 350Z withat exhaust setup and damn near traded my bimmer on it. I need the AWD though. Might get one when I move out of colorado.

bczap23 · 02-09-2011, 11:17 AM

I don't know, its all about personal taste. I did it and had the muffler delete for less than 24 hours before I went back to the muffler shop and had them put the OEM one back on. It sounded ok but to me it just didn't fit the car for what it is. My car isn't modified whatsoever so I didn't think it fit the general profile whatsoever. I'm now looking into either the IKON muffler or the BMW PE system. I wanted the IKON because it was cheaper but the more I hear of the PE system, the more I want it. I think its the way to go.

I want the IKON as well. I would get the PE but it's just a bit too expensive for me right now.

mastermayhm · 02-09-2011, 08:57 PM

here is a muff delete, plus a little creative pipework cost me more than 150 but i think it sounds great and flows well

AlpineSwift · 02-09-2011, 09:03 PM

It all comes down to the piping and the tips you use imo. Even something as simple as the pipe material can change the acoustics of the exhaust note.

Master, that has to be the best muffler delete I've heard to date.

slim_e90 · 02-09-2011, 09:11 PM

Master... How's the drone with your setup?

Also can you take a pic from underneath. Looks like a clean setup

mastermayhm · 02-09-2011, 10:36 PM

SS headers, dual pipe all the way out. kept the resonator and cut the muff. no drone on highway like most claim they have with their setup

sorry those are the best pics i can find right now

sk8board511 · 02-10-2011, 06:24 PM
