Muffler Delete with Vibrant Resonators
So, after reading thread after thread about muffler delete and listening to a lot of YouTube clips, I decided to go ahead and do it but with a twist. I decided to add two Vibrant resonators with the hopes of cutting down the drone issue. I also changed my tips to 89mm black Akrapovic carbon fiber.
So far I love it. Not too loud other than at cold startup. It simmers down after about 30sec or so. Last edited by bimmer722; 05-16-2019 at 07:47 PM.. |

While on the highway I get no drone since I have it in sport and keeps it in the upper rev range. I will say at about 2300-2500 there is a slight drone but its tolerable and not bad at all. I'll try and make some sound clips while driving over the weekend.

Which shop in LI did the muffler delete?
And do you think that adding the Vibrant resonators helped to reduce drone. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on what the drone is like at 1900 rpm in comfort mode. |

There's quite a few members who did the muffler delete who wound up getting the Vibrant resonators afterwards because of the drone and it helped tremendously

No drone at 1900. There is a slight drone between 2300-2500 but not too bad where it's annoying. Based on the research I did and all the sound clips I have heard, the resonators definitely helped. It makes a difference for sure. Most important it passed the wife test lol |

Saw your Youtube video last night. Car sounded great! Do you still have the car? Would love to come by and hear it (I am local) if possible.
Coffee is on me |

Drone isn't crazy, something to get used to specially cruising on highway. I have just muffler delete done I love the sound. I just want possibly 4" tips i bought 3" looks kinda small. Going to wait till I get Msport rear with diffuser before going 4" to have shop redo tips to align it.
