I think this is my second topic now ... I am too old to be getting pulled over by LAPD . But never too old to unleash some noise ... I hear there are options to add some noise ? But still quiet in comfort mode ... I don't want anything too loud.. but to get a little louder than just "stock"
Help me add some noise to this baby |

It won't give you a CEL. But it might drone. I've done lots of googling and people are divided. Some say a res delete makes the car drone. Others say a muffler delete does. I might do a muffler delete since it will make the exhaust louder (doesn't muffle the sound as much) whereas a res delete might make it drone (more resonance?). Ofcourse, I could be very wrong.

Its plug and play? My mechanic can install anything but if there is cutting and welding he's out and at that point I rather just take it for a res delete at a local exhaust shop Please link to a few options |

A catless DP will add noise, but will throw a cell light and put you in limp mode. You'd need a tune to ignore the cell.
There are sports cat DPs that will add sound without the cell but they're more expensive. The sound from a catless DP is lovely |

Problem is catted DPs are more expensive. If you just want an increase in sound, get a muffler or res delete. PS : Just noticed Don76 said the same thing I did. My bad.

Get on YouTube for some research and decide for yourself. As for the tune - I can't speak for your tuner, but most would be happy for you to return and have the required tweak to the map to delete the cel. A few beer tokens would be reasonable. Most tuners here in the UK will flash back to std for a trip to dealer and reflash back afterwards for free. |

Be warned too that if you do go for a Resonator Delete and/or muffler delete, BMW has 3 inch pipes running from the downpipe through the resonator and down through the rest of your exhaust, so a lot of exhaust shops can't work on it. At least that's the case in Washington State, most shops will only do up to a 2.5 inch pipe.

So I did resonator delete but it's not that noticeable other than some noticeable pops at 4000rpm .... any rec? Should I do a muffler delete or order a catted/catless down pipe? Thanks in advance !

Also, I had went and bought spark plug defoulers from autozone "Dorman 42009" comes in a back of two for like $6. You can attach these two together and place the o2 sensor in to not get a CEL. |

Remove the resonator and code sports plus. Pops and burbles a lot, almost as much as a b58 when in sports plus. Exhaust sound is maybe a bit louder in a subtle way but not much, drone increase is very little and worth it. I believe sports plus opens the exhaust flap.
If you want a big difference your probably gonna have to spend big money on an after market exhaust, or at the very least remove the muffler, which might sound a little cheap, but not sure as I have never heard it. |
