Muffler Delete - Is It Worth It?

I recently got both my resonators deleted but I want more noise.

I'm thinking of doing a muffler delete.

I usually drive in comfort mode and most of the time I'm on the highway so the rpm stays at around 1000-2500 rpm.

1. Regarding cabin noise, from 1(stock sound) - 10(unbearable, cant even talk to passengers), what will you rate it?

2. Will there be more pops, bangs and burble?

3. Does it sound good overall (Bmw performance car)?

Your next step should be a high flow dp. In my opinion, you should wait for the Dinan cold air intake, it will ready a few weeks from now. Just my two cents. Right now I’m running the Akrapovic dp with Dinan mid pipe with MPE and it would amazing, plenty loud with crazy pops and bangs.

Isn't it easier and cheaper to just run straight pipes, adding resonators back in until you stop getting tickets? I know it's possible that with a car like this one it may be more complicated than that, but that seems like a place you could start.

That is always an option but mine is still 100% legal, will pass emissions and no CEL. That is why I chose the route I did.
