So I did remove both resonators today and placed an X pipe instead of the front one
The car definitely sounds better i will say 50% louder and similar to f90 m5 stock but with no burbles or pops
It is not too loud but definitely louder then before
No Drone!
The oem resonators (front one is straight pipe and the back one is X pipe)
I got the x pipe from Amazon
I had the shop do the rest for 500 dollar long island ny
I think secondary cat delete will even make it louder
Took 2 to 3 hours to have it done
Again given how cheap it was I think it is worth it
I placed a link for my YouTube video
Again it is not the best video but this is how much I know

Thanks for sharing. Definitely an improvement. This exhaust system is a puzzle with all of these different components. How does it sound under load when driving? Can you hear it from the cabin?

Yes you can definitely hear it from the cabin to the point I turned off the fake sound button
It sounds good but no burbles and no pops but I am fine with that given I am not a fan away

Very cool. Same here re pops and burbles. Something like this may work for me as well. Thanks again.

That’s the way it should’ve come factory and then if you want bubbles and/or deeper tone you can go aftermarket!

Awesome, great results. The burbles and pops can be created by a tune if you wanted that attention, and not necessarily just the exhaust. IMO I like the burb's though.

Thank you for being a guineapig for us!.

Yes the guy in the shop who did it liked the sound
I think this car sounds more mature/exotic with this setup compared to the f90

Yes 10 years ago i used to like burbles and pops
Nowadays Nahh I prefer without any and I think it sounds more mature this way

Lol I knew someone will comment about the music

That sounds really good. Very mature sound. I can't stand pops and bangs that every kid with a hoody has lol

Sounds very very close to how my X5M sounds with a Dinan X pipe and Akra.

Yes i like the sound so far
Perfect not too loud ir too quiet
If it was not for the rasp I would have done a secondary cat delete but I am afraid it will loose the deep sound that I like

[Alan l.]

Same reason why I never did the secondary cat delete either because my current tone is perfect and exotic sounding under load.

I like the idea for sure, and the results seem good. Those welds though, Jessus Christ. Did they ever hear of a TIG welder?

Hehe yes better to do tig mainly for asthetics but I am not looking under the car so I am fine with that
Other then that the guy took his time to make sure it fits perfectly with no risk of touching other structure and he even put back the brace in the back using specific torque tool to make sure everything is back the same as oem
I am pleased with the results overall

I had a 100km trek to do in mine shortly after reading /viewing your post and your subliminal advertising had me playing Eliminator for a while.
I noted the G90’s B&W was quick to highlight the shortcomings in the recording given the album’s age.
Other, remastered, stuff was better.
All this Amercana has me hankering for holiday in the ‘States soon!!
(see what you’ve done!!)

[unagedluxury]

RedStar primary and secondaries you have to the resonator delete will be necessary with this hybrid design the car doesn’t seem to have valves from what I’ve seen Instagram Video
