Resonator Delete

Does anyone have a resonator delete on their 228i yet?

I experimented with this, along with the muffler delete. With the muffler delete alone, the exhaust sounded refined, nice low grumble on idle and mellow while cruising. With the resonator out as well, idle had the same tone, but maybe a bit louder but there was noticeable drone on cruise. Apart from the drone the tone of the exhaust sounded "dirty". didn't like it so I put the resonator back in.

I was more wondering about the delete with the stock muffler still on

I took out the resonator on mine with a M135/235 stock muffler, noticeable difference but not enough to make me not want an aftermarket/m perf exhaust lol

Damn I wish someone did this with a 228i exhaust! I might just have a muffler shop do it to try it

I have resonator delete with my m235i. I also have the catless and valve open on my m235i already so the sound wasn't a huge difference to me.

Here is what a 228i with a M Performance muffler and a res delete sounds like.

Thanks,

That actually sounds pretty good. Now if only some one had done it with a stock muffler too haha

I recommend trying the valve mod on your 2. I just did it and it makes a noticeable difference and it's free!
