Exhaust upgrade
I'm wanting to upgrade my stock n55 exhaust but don't want to pay more than a few hundred dollars, so the m sport and dinan exhausts are a little over my budget. I was thinking of a muffler delete but I don't want the car to be so loud and drone. Any advice?

My advice: save up for a Dinan or M Sport. There's a reason why they cost more - they're engineered to sound good, they perform well, and they won't drone a bunch. If you can afford to drive a modern BMW, you should be able to save enough for a good exhaust.

edit: looks like they're sold https://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1558272 another option that I was gonna do was the Megan Supremo's because of the 4" quad tips they came with https://youtu.be/acqdMik_0mY https://youtu.be/PJPMq62Sxqc |

I did a muffler delete on my 535i and it was pretty good (cost like $200 and $100 was the burnt tips_. There wasn't a lot of drone but it was loud at cold start.

Yea that's how mine sounded but it was a bit loud for me and droned a lot. So the muffler shop added some small resonators to each side for like $100 and I think it sounds amazing now. Maybe even better than the dinan exhaust

If you were charged 200 for a muffler delete you got ripped off. I know this because I was charged the same. I went to another shop that only charged $50. And they added resonators and nice M Sport looking tips all for $120. It's sad but some shops see our cars and price their work based on the car, and not the job

Thanks! Got the Meisterschaft's from a fellow member for $900.
I forgot what I paid for the install?
