Hey guys so I'm thinking of installing my DP back on my 2014 550i but I wanna try my hardest to keep it as quite as possible. And also not smell gas as much. Any recommendations?

i think as far as the gas smell that has to do with the installation. as long as there's no leaks you should be good. as far as sound it's been known for DP's to increase the overall tone. i'm sure of this as i've watched countless before/after DP installs on YouTube

Theres a company called AR Designs that sells Catted and Catless /w resonator downpipes. The one that comes with a resonator is for people that want to reduce drone and sound. Also I heard people that have installed Vibrant resonators to tame even more sound. So for the sound there are a couple of options like the ones I mentioned.

As far as I know they dont affect performance, but maybe someone that has these resonators could shine more info.

I dont think its too hard, but it is a pain in the arse based on where it sits & from what others have told me. I think it would be fine. I might have to remove mine before I go for yearly inspection, so I might do that myself and replace with stock.

I attempted to, the midpipe and dp connection was a PIA. I eventually took it to a shop and they had to drop the whole exhaust because it was that much of a PIA.

We offer AR design downpipes. You got 3 different options catless, catless + resonators & catted
Sounds like catted might be the best option for you

Is AR back in business? Or is this just more inventory?

I have cat less AR DP's, with Borla m5 axle back exhaust on my N63TU, with an X pipe replacing the pancake resonator and I?t was too loud. I added resonators right before the flow through the X pipe and I'm very happy with the tone of the car. No drone in cabin, in idle you don't hear I?t, and unless you hit hard I?t purs!!!
