Resonator delete and other mods

Quickburn7 · 03-29-2018, 07:29 PM

So I had the resonator removed today, I also installed the IND front and rear bumper covers ( perfect paint and fitment Match) and I also
Had the windows tinted with 20% ceramic tint. Car was had 75 miles on it and have not had it more than 24 hours so just punching stuff off my list!
I went for a few miles up and down a canyon by my house and although the car does sound louder and more sports car like there is way too much drone. Whenever lifting off the gas from 6k rpm to about 3k rpm it’s like your in the Grand Canyon.
Either way car sounds best in comfort mode and with the ASD off to close the valves. Even in sports plus it sounds much better with the ASD off as it does with it on which exaberates the drone. I’m going to bring it back to my exhaust guy to see if he can figure something out but if not I’ll have to wait for a full exhaust system that can elimate the drone. I have a couple of sound clips but not sure how to post so PM your email and I’ll send them to you.
Here are some pics of the resonator delete process, interior or resonator and pics of the car with the tints and bumper covers.

I really appreciate all of the pics ! Especially looking inside the resonator. Looks like an X pipe resonator.

Hate that it is droning on you. The X5M guys had to eliminate ASD when they installed the E Race mufflers.

I wonder if a true X Pipe installed instead of single pipes would kill the drone by mixing the pulses ?

Looks great! We're hoping to have an exhaust suite available before the Summer - keep an eye out! Could post a soundclip/video?

Damn I thought that might do the trick like it has for so many of my turbo Benzes... have you thought about putting the resonators back off and pulling the cans? Isnt it a pretty free flowing can with the valves open??

On the F10's there was that can bypass option which a quite a few opted for... I think by Turner?

I honestly have no idea as I do not usually mod my cars. I had pulled the resonator and did the same on a C43 I owned and it worked great so I thought it would work here too. I just think Im going to bring it back to stock and wait for a true exhaust system.

I would try x pipe or h pipe see if tones it down a bit.

The bends on the new pipe section is really bad.
That shop clearly does not have a mandrel bending machine.
Sorry but I would take that off the car. And I am not kidding.
