Modifying the standard exhaust ?

[Simon H]

Hello Chaps,
I was studying a photo of the internals of the standard exhaust system, in the exhaust thread, and i was wondering, if anyone thought it possible, to modify the F10 M5 silencers, the same way that the E92 M3 exhaust was modded ?. If you cut open the rear silencers, then removed the packing around the baffles, then covered the holes in the pipes, it will effectively become a straight through silencer ?. Just a thought, as the E92 exhaust mod, worked very well, regards, SIMON.

I have been wondering about this same thing myself. I did it on my E92 M3 and absolutely loved the sound. Any thoughts on this?

Not sure you'd gain much as there's pretty much nothing in the stock mufflers .

But if you're happy to donate your mufflers to research give it a try

I did it myself on my E92 and am willing to give it a shot on a donor M5 exhaust, I honestly loved the sound on my M3.

Regarding there not being much in the stock mufflers, the Eisenmann is just cans and is much louder, wouldn't that mean there has to be something inside the stock mufflers to quiet the exhaust down?

I'm truly a novice with this stuff, any help would be appreciated.

here is the inside of the exhaust, don't think there really is much to modify

Thanks for the pic!

I'm guessing under the sound deadening material is the split to 2 pipes and they are perforated. Any ideas?

Look at the Hartge option. They deleted the mufflers.

Those definitely look like they can be modified....that material can be removed and maybe put connecting pipes to the two outlets so its more straight through.. Just my opinion

I'm really liking the idea of modifying the stock exhaust. I like the concept of inserting a "Y" junction into the stock muffler. Does anyone have a pic of the stock mufflers opened with that mesh material removed? Any of the tuners willing to give it a try?

If I can find a donor exhaust, I will try it...
