Please share which exhaust you got. I love how this one sounds! I have been trying to find one that has a deep throaty sound rather than a tinny sound. Also can we get a cold start video as well?

It's a muffler and resonator delete! I don't see the reason for all the hate behind muffler deletes? The sound and design of the Meisterschaft Super GT exhaust except it's only 1/25th of the price of one. Best of all, I got to design it myself! H8 on it

Never heard a 235i with muffler delete so thats why im asking.
I have heard an e92 335 with muffler delete and it sounds really nice when going WOT , but in terms of daily driving its too loud ( my whole neighborhood would know that im nearby

I still have my OEM downpipe and cat! With all honesty, videos will never do justice like seeing it in person will do. Without the Muffler and Resonator, it is PRETTY loud. Not too loud or obnoxious but it definitely a very considerable difference.

Same here as well. I have catless downpipe and resonator delete. Wanted to keep muffler on to prevent that much drone. Still have a little though.

From what I hear, if you do straight from turbo back (Catless DP, Non resonated midpipes, No muffler) the tone of the exhaust tends to get a bit raspy instead of the deep growl. Have you noticed this with your catless DP?

I have my muffler on still so I don't have straight pipe. However, currently the exhaust is pretty deep. Just a side note though, all F22 exhaust will tend to be a little bit on the higher note side because of the car design compare to like F32.

I am running a c@tless DP with resonator and muffler delete... gotta say it sounds nice and loud all the time but there is noticeable drone in cabin during normal freeway driving. The coolest part of the setup is that I can spit flames when I run the JB4 stage 2 on map 7 with e85

Yeah if I don't put it back yes. That's why I kept all the pieces and can/will weld them back in before lease is up. Already spoke with my co-worker/client advisor about it as well as our dealer's master tech.
