to Resonator Delete or Not

znammzM6 · 07-20-2014, 07:11 PM

Hey guys, so I have my E-sport installed for about a week now, it sounds great, I love it even though it is quiet most of the time and no drone at all. I would like a little bit more sound to it without getting downpipes. Have anyone done a E-sport or E-race and delete the resonator with straight pipes, how does it sound? good, bad, too loud, not loud enough etc.? here is a pix of it.

I had that on my 2013 M5. It does amp up the sound at higher revs and create a bit more grunt at low RpMs. Still no drone.

Yeah peers pressure -

I did it and I have to go to ENT per Spinny02 as I can hardly tell the difference -

Actually today which is only 24 hours later -

I believe it is a different exhaust and it does drone but the type of drone that I would want and enjoy but my wife -; ) (Yes yes) hated the car today same setup but resonators deleted !! Which tells you it is louder and deeper and more popping and burbling with shifting up and down and again at higher RPM not idling and it seemed I was underwhelmed initially because I was expecting more!! And I couldn't tell any performance difference but the car does sound different for sure as I feel for the first time that I have almost enough sound if not more than I want and I have CP mufflers on the way and I can only imagine how louder it will be especially that I am running Exhaust Meister too !!

I will report back
But Exhaust Meister had more noticeable difference than Resonators delete per se but because it affects idling and cold start more than resonators delete which mainly shines at higher RPMs up shifting and down shifting what makes both complete each other and I naive no idea WHAT CA MUFFLERS WILL ADD TO THIS STOCK SETUP WITH JUST BAFFLES REMOVED VS NON CP MUFFLERS!

My 2 cents
