when installing competition mufflers on a car with n63tu motor do I??..

so I'm in the market for competition mufflers when I do get them do I just install the mufflers or do I remove the resonators and install the competition mufflers for the most aggressive sound without being too obnoxious?

I bought the exhaust from a 2014 m5 comp from the downpipes back. I ended up keeping my OEM resonators and just cut from behind those and put the mufflers on.

In hindsight I should have put the m5 resonators on as well.

However, i'm happy with the way the car sounds now.

you think removing the resonators make it sound too loud?

The official CP exhaust doesn't have resonators. I have it on my car and bmw removed the perforation in the resonators on the CP exhaust (resonator delete)
