Looked all over for vid with no luck. Anyone ?

Since I could not find a Vid I decided to be the test subject. Will get a vid up soon as I have time. Oem muffler is freaking huge lol

 

I did a resonater delete about three weeks ago. It mostly amplified the popping noise. But you do get some pretty loud pops in upper RPM range. Like gun shot loud sometimes. But other then that it sounds rather stock. Cold start though is a lot more amplified now also. I’m probably gonna replace the muffler with a custom setup to give it some more bass and just a little bit more noise.

That's the 3 cyl non S with the rear muffler replaced with straight pipe.

 

Well deleted that massive 40lbt I em muffler today.. sounds amazing. Before drop big bucks on some after market cat back try this first. Pops and bubbles are back in a Big way and the tone imo is killer ! Louder without being obnoxious. Added larger tips too.

 

Hey James
Mind elaborating what muffler u r running and what u did to it?

 

Took it to quick muffler in franklin tn, they cut off the oem muffler and welded in a straight pipe with tips you see in the pic. Factory cats and resonater still in place and muffler it alot so it's not obnoxious.

 

sound clip please!

 

for real tho, what did the oem muffler weigh? was it really 40 lbs?

 

Pretty damn close. Put a video on a separate post

 

 

Any drone at highway speeds? It seems that your setup is basically the JCW or Remus but only at open as they are essentially open straight pipe cat backs.

It sounds great though, I am going the same route I just can't decide weather i want what you did or a smaller muffler added so the noise will be between what yours sounds like and stock.

Also if you get a chance, think you could take a video of it at idle and revving while in neutral?

what did they charge to do this? seems like big time bang for your buck

 

Its not the same as the Remus.

When the valve is open on the Remus it is a straight pipe from the cat backward (with no silencing provided in the rear muffler)

However, with this set up, its a straight pipe from the cat backward until is gets to the OEM muffler which is still heavily silenced.

 

From what I understand this is a straight pipe back, rear muffler removed and replaced with a section of straight pipe back. So essentially like the jcw or remus without the ability to close the valve and re route through a rear muffler

 

I am a OCD person.... waiting for a reasonably priced KIT to surface for the F56....
How much would a job like this cost? Like welding a straight pipe removing the muffler?

 

0 drone at any speed. It ran me 100 which was 60 for the very nice dual SS tip rest was labor. Oem cats and resonator are untouched. Just cut off the insanely large muffler and ran about a foot long straight pipe welded to the tip

 

This is not correct.

The OP has removed the FRONT silencer from his car and retained the OEM rear box, and changed the tips.

The Remus has the ability to be a straight pipe (with the valve open) from the cat to the exhuast tips. It has an unsilenced pipe running through the rear box itself, which can be opened and closed on command.

This set up does not match the Remus as no matter what happens exhuast gas still has to go through the heavily silenced OEM rear box.

It does sound great though OP and very friendly on the wallet!

 

NO I removed the rear silencer (muffler)...front silencer (resonater) is still there

 

My apologies - I've obviously got confused with the American terminology - I wrongly assumed you meant the front resonator.

Even so, it's still not the same as the Remus option though as that offers a front resonator delete pipe OR a much smaller front resonator in conjunction with no silencing from the rear back box

Your set up does sound great though!

 

Ty I think so too and I can all the money I saved to something else
