Muffler delete suggestion assumes people won't go with a catless down pipe. I don't think many people with a 228i will.
Not to get off topic but, personally I wouldn't go to a catless downpipe on a 228i. My experience over the years seems to be the gains are negligible from catless vs catted itself and stem more from the tunes. The engineers at BMW, Ford, Dodge, etc have designed pretty decent flowing catalytic converters since the 80's when they were first implemented. In my opinion it isn't worth the cost or headaches of going catless. If I wanted to go for all out hp, I wouldn't start with a 228i. For the extra cost to go catless, you can get more power with the 235i instead and not have the headaches of CEL, Emissions, Tunes, swapping parts etc. (Just a quick search shows around me used 228i and 235i are near the same prices.)
