Drone is pretty dam bad. if you want to attract attention then go for it. its fun i guess but makes your driving experience annoying. Thinking about putting it back.

Pros-- Gargles louder, Louder start ups, Sounds pretty good above the drone, Tunnels make it sound awesome. Loud backfire if DSC cut you off in higher RPMS.

Cons-Drone(really dont over look this), Have to listen to music louder, could wake up neighbors, attracts attention... i dont need. You have to run your golf tee mod, it can mess things up if you retain it and dont un-plug it.

If you want to save money by doing a muffler delete, just replace the mufflers with 2 Magnaflow universal mufflers for just a little more money. Like here:

There are also other similar threads, just search.

Cut the secondary cats and resonator if you a E90. If your a E92, just cut the secondary cats.
