128i Muffler Delete
Ok so I really want to do the exhaust on my 128i and I'm waiting to save up for a real exhaust, but in the meantime I was thinking tomorrow I was gonna go and delete the muffler, but leave the resonator, and see what it sounded like. I dont know if anyone has done this on a 128i and I've done a bunch of research on the e90post site and listened to a bunch of clips of 328i's and I liked it. The only issue of course would be drone, but hell I'm willing to test it out. Just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts. And for sure if I go tomorrow I'll post pics and video.

i have it done on my 128i! im reverting back to OEM because i think it will be hard to get a service without them voiding my warranty. As well it lacks low end power because back pressure is lost.. i'll post a video tomorrow.

I was wondering if it would affect the backpressure or not. I didnt know if this would matter because its a N/A engine. 1intense, did you not like the exhaust note? or was it pretty loud? I'll check your video out tomorrow to decide if i'm actually gonna do it or not. Prob still will do it though... ha

ok so I didn't get to go today but I've got an appointment tomorrow. If the backpressure isn't an issue then I'm excited to hear how it sounds. I'll try to get pics and video up tomorrow

This has got to sound awful. Why would you go out and spend the money to buy a nice car, and then hack the muffler off of it like it's a '92 Civic? Come on guys!
