Anyone do a resonator delete for a 535i? Really don't like how quiet my F10 is. I just put a VRSF catless downpipe and was hoping it'd be a little louder. I had an E90 with VRSF dp's and removed the resonator and it sounded perfect. Just wondering if anyone has gone this route and if they liked it/noticed a difference in sound.

If you did a catless dp and resonator delete, please chime in. I've heard/seen the vids of a muffler delete but don't like the sound of it. Just want to hear what it sounds like before I bite the bullet and do it.

Thanks!

Muffler delete is no good on the F10. I had a vrsf DP with a muffler delete and it sounded cheap. I ended up removing the DP and putting a straight through with j pipes and it got tolerable. The only decent setup I've heard through a video is the armytrix exhaust.

Also also ask FenixMike as he has done this mod recently.

So you went stock downpipe with the muffler delete and j-pipes? Do you have a sound clip of it?

Yeah I saw fenixmike's but wasn't sure if his just sounded different because of his being a 550.

Maybe I'll just open my stock mufflers and see if I can modify it internally like the e90 guys do to make it sound like the MPE.

Kyddo112 resonator delete is much nicer and cleaner than muffler delete!
I'd say go for it , its also easier to go back to than the muffler delete and should cost less.

I guess it all depends on the sound you're looking for as someone will like resonator delete + muffler delete + catless dp together and some do 1 or 2

I've not made a video yet. I tried doing it myself but from within the car it doesn't come out right. I need an extra person to record it. I can tell you its slightly more mild then the golf t mod. The problem with the 535 and muffler delete was not only did it sound like a Honda, it had unbearable drone for a DD. After putting in the straight throughs it sounded much better, but the drone was still unacceptable for DD. After doing the j pipes it eliminated the drone, but also gave the overall tone a more mild deep bass sound. The j pipes take over after about 2500 rpm and then it goes quite so all muffler noise is from take off or cruising in a low rpm. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it's part of my on going exhaust experiment with the f10. After fenixmike removed his resonator and mentioned no difference I became hesitant due to the confirmed drone from my testing. I have my stock mufflers and thought about gutting them too. I happy happy to sell them to you if you're interested for your experiment.

My next move is I'm considering putting electric exhaust valves at the end of my j pipes to have more control of the sound.
