Go you.


He was asking about the resonator, which just changes the sound of the exhaust, not the catalytic converter which is the emission device.

Maybe you should listen and know what your talking about before you get on your environmental high horse and preaching at others.

I agree. It will not do anything to emissions... The question is why cut it? Like a slit in it? Why not just remove it and install a straight pipe instead?

I took a saws-all to the muffler in mine and replace the muffler with 2 90 degree mandrel bends. Sounds good and it should make sound check at the next racing event... Cats and resonator are all stock on mine, just no more muffler. That is just my $0.02, tho.

yes you could cut them, the BMW performance exhaust requires that you cut them.
