    No way...that's quiet!! Not a fan of the wide tip but to each his own...

    Seriously dude, is the second recording actually a muffler delete or did you just add the resonator tip?!? It just sounds too quiet for a e full delete IMO...

    I think its just the tip.

    You can turn the volume up all you want, but...

    Just the tip just ain't satisfying.

    Everyone puts the double on... its lame at this point for all the bimmers exhausts to look the same. I was originally going to go with the double but decided to go with the healthy alternative .

    So did you actually remove the "scuba tank" rear muffler? Or did you just get that tip fitted to the muffler?

    Because, it sounds no different.

    Cheers

    P.s- Needs more stickers if it wants to look like a rally car.

    I cut my muffler off also and still think it isn't loud enough. And I opted for the dual 3.5" tip. But one of the outlets is crooked

    Too quiet for my liking.

    Technical Graphite Trim w/ cupholder delete, E46 M3 tri-color stitched steering wheel,

    You want noise? Just run open headers, sounds great.

    Inspection stickers are overrated.
    You live in NY, there must be a few sleazy shops in every town that will sell you one.

    ill have to do a vid of mine, i have true duel catless headers from there to a y pipe before the y pipe i have a resonator on each pipe before it hits the y. then the y goes to single magnaflow muffler. crazy min sound much louder lol but quiet at idle and start up.
    540i 6spd DUDMD tuned-weekend brute, sounds like an M5 throaty V8 "Vtec-ish" cam noise.
