I got a 1998 bmw 528i and i was thinking to add a nut between the exhaust pipe and the muffler to create a gap and make a louder sound. what do u guys think?
Insane idea.

So you're deliberately creating an exhaust leak? Seems silly, just do a muffler delete.

Basically remove the muffler, and run a straight-pipe with tips!
Are you going to be happy with that sound?

E39 drivers don’t eat tide pods c’mon now
It would certainly be louder if you did that, but I don't think it would be the sound you were looking for. Lots of options, some better than others, but that's got to be one of the worst.

I think the consensus is - don't be nutty, by adding that nut...lol.
lol
Agree with all the above. I can only assume that it would sound like a car with a hole in the exhaust - not a "good" sound - more of a "sounds like something's wrong" sound since the exhaust air/gasses wouldn't be flowing smoothly.
