F55/F56 Mini F56 S: anyone deleted muffler or resonator yet?
Mini F56 S: anyone deleted muffler or resonator yet?
I'm looking into it but so far I'm little bit lost.
I want to add just a little bit of volume to stock exhaust.
But I'm not sure if removing resonator would be enough? Or keeping resonator and removing just muffler?
Any advice/ideas welcome.
Thank you.

a few have done this including myself. I removed just the muffler and I like the additional sound. It is not too loud and never drones. I also have a rear seat delete so I imagine if you still have your seat in it would be even a little quieter than what I'm hearing.
As far as place where I can have it done.... Any specific things I should be looking for? I don't want someone to butcher my exhaust system and also don't want to be overcharge for the labor.
So far stopped to one place and was quoted around $100 for muffler delete and str8 pipe.

so far I went to 2 places in my area..
Here is another question... lets say in future I decide to sell my car and would like to put that muffler back on.. I was told at one of the places I would need to by new muffler, since this one wont be able fit any longer due to the cut out.. the other place told me, it wouldn't be a problem.. whats your experience guys?
thanks

None of the local places have stainless steel pipes. Looking locally seems rather difficult too.
Was wondering if anyone ever ordered it online?
I was told to look for 2" diameter.
Also considering putting new stainless steel tips - they have those in stock and they are already form in Y, versus the stock tips, which would have to be cut out from muffler and welded to aluminized Y pipe (since they don't have stainless steel, unless I find one).
Thank you guys so far.

just finished this on my '14S - really satisfied with the sound/appearance - found a MagnaFlow 2.25" with twin angled stainless 3" tips - purchased thru Summit (less expensive shipping to the 50th state) - pics on request - gooo ruck

Darn it. I ordered 2.5" from Amazon. That means it won't work then.
