muffler delete

Does anyone know a place in South or Central Jersey that i can cut my mufflers? Everywhere i go they want $250-$400 for something that should only cost around $70 + Tips. I mean if i went to autozone and got a glass pack it would only cost me about $100 to install it lol.

If you replace the muffler, you don't need to bend a new pipe to replace it. They're probably charging you labor for cutting and bending new pipes.

But you're right, $250-400 is still too much. It should be a 2 hour job. The piping is only $7 a meter/yard the last time i bought some.

I was told that the drone is very minimal if the resonator is stock.

The turbo eliminates a lot of droning. I'm sure there will be some but it won't be nowhere near as bad as an NA motor.

There was another member here who paid around $200 at AMS autowerks. Honestly, its a very simple job but most places you go charge you BMW tax so that's why you're paying more.

I would recommend AMS autowerks or Mufflex as they both use mandrel bent pipes instead of crush bending it in their own machine.

$200 isn't too bad. My brother had a 335i (N54) and he got a great deal at a minieke. $75 + tips around $150 all together. I don't think I'll ever find that deal but I guess $250-$300(with tips) is the cheapest it's gunna get. I don't even care to have that expensive of a tip either. Just a nice 3.5" autozone will do the job for me. Lol
