BMW 320i Muffler Delete Advice Needed (Video Included)

[Teflon Dan]

Hey guys,

New to Bimmer Forums, but looking forward to being a member of a great online community!

Over Summer I bought a 2008 320i, which I love. However I'm thinking of getting a silencer removed as it's not particularly loud and I could do with a bit more volume!

I'm no mechanic so I need a bit of advice on what to go for:

• Should I get the CENTER silencer removed or the REAR silencer?
  
• Should I get a Resonator removed too?

Here's what the car sounds like at the moment:

(Will update once I've had the procedure done on Friday)

The mechanic I've been chatting to recommended removing the center silencer as he reckoned removing the rear one might make it overly loud. However, I am a 24 year old male and a loud car is what I'm after! I just don't want to be disappointed with the end result.

Please let me know what your thoughts are! If removing a rear silencer is a stupid idea then please take me down a peg! Also would be great to know if I should remove a resonator and what effect that

Many thanks,
Dan

Removing the "resonator" will
Make it louder. But take into consideration you will have a check engine light when the job is done and your MPG will drop a muffler delete sounds. A muffler delete sounds perfect in my opinion here's a couple videos of mine 1st video being a cold start 2nd being at idle

Dude thanks for the help it sounds awesome. So if I only get a Silencer removed will I still get a check engine light?

Also should it be the rear or centre silencer that I remove? Which did you get taken off?

The center silencers are going to be the resonator, and the rear silencers are going to be the mufflers. lol I got a muffler delete

That's legal there? Removing parts of the exhaust is illegal in Virginia. Quite annoying too. If you want it loud for you just hard mount the exhaust to the chassis (remove the rubber).

Hi Guys
I am new to this group. I do not know how to post videos lol all its asking for is a link. Anyways What have you done to your Bmw? I have an e90 on that youtube link, thats the stock exhaust, I just want a little more deeper tone instead of a rough one. Thanks
