Straight pipes with oem resonator or straight pipes from cats?

subscribing, thanks for sharing

 

Sorry, forgot to mention, STRAIGHT PIPE FROM CATS. oohhh:

PS: What's the fastest way to upload these to the net? I think its taking about 20-25 mins per vid, and I made 12 vids...

 

Cold start up

First Rev = 2.5K RPM
Second Rev = 4.0K RPM
Third Rev = blip to 3.0K RPM

[watch in HD for best quality]

 

0-60 Normal Driving

Normal driving from 0 to 60mph, shifting around 3.5k rpm, then cruising at 60mph. Windows down.

Quick 2nd gear pull

2nd gear pull, windows down, DSC on ouich

**** sounds super hard but im not sure if i can roll like that in cali.

 

Haha...it actually very tame as long as you don't give it a lot of throttle . I just give it the gas pedal and extra push to amplify the sound for the vids, but normal driving conditions its very tame. I'm uploading the "windows up" vids right now...

 

Sounds very mean! Put your ///M5 badge in the correct spot!

 

LOL reputable body shop did it for me when I had them paint/install my DDM front bumper yawnnnn

 

I have this exact setup and I can vouch for the subtle sound in low RPM's. With a little gas, it unleashes the beast. I would say hands down the best mod bang for buck.

 

Cruising

First half of video is normal driving with windows UP.

Second half (when you hear the blinkers) is WOT with windows DOWN.

50-60 mph cruise

M55555... That second half video made me almost jump in my car and race it down the road(darn it snow). What a sexy "roar" I must say! I'm in love with that sound. ESPECIALLY that last neutral punch roar.. Just made my day!

Timmayyyyyyyy Here I come pal :blink: Lets do this !
Thank you so much for showing me the light in the end of that tunnel M55555.. Very nice Vids:cheers: Very helpful there man. Lucky to have such dedicated members on here. I'm truly addicted to this board.

Haha no problem, you won't regret it!! Oh btw, that last neutral roar, that was more instinct than planned. My foot had a mind of its own

Doooooooooooooooooooood.

I can't wait for Sunday. I'll hold the cam for a couple drive-by's if you need.

Ultra mega super jealous.

Thanks man! Sounds like a plan :M5launch:

I'll call ya towards the end of the week. I'll be detailing all Saturday :haha:

 

Damn i keep coming back in here debating if i should remove my resonators are not. I also have the famous timmay77 tips on my car. What to do what to do!?!?!?! Are you coming back in the bay area anytime soon? I would like to listen to it in person

 

Haha. I'm not sure when I'll be up there visiting my parents. Is there any other videos I can make for you in the meantime?

 

Just got mine done, resonators back. I'll try to have a couple videos up next week.

 

sounds pretty sick. do you have any drive-by vids, though? i'm curious to see what it sounds like from outside of the car while getting on it/WOT...

 

Not ATM, but I can record some for you tomorrow.

 

The vids doesn't do this setup justice. Locals say, in person, it sounds a whole lot better

 

have you kept the H-pipe above the mount or deleted it? do you have a picture with the underbody of the car in order for us to see the exhaust?

what about an X-pipe ?

what about the power level? have you gained some or lost some?

please post also that drive by movies (I want to modify my exhaust and I am gathering infos )

 

Hmmm im thinking about doing this, right now i just have the mufflers deleted an it sounds good, but now i sort of wanna delete my resonators. But i dont wana lose any performance.........

Although I do not have any dyno figures to prove it, I do not think removing your resonators will net you any noticeable loss in performance. Resonators are designed as dB reducers, and not primarily designed with performance in mind. If you like how they sound right now, you'll love how they sound with the resonators off. And it is relatively inexpensive to have a shop delete them as well.

I still have an X-pipe in mind, and common sense is telling me that I'd like to retain the design of the OEM system, but I'm still doing more research (online and talking to gurus) about whether or not it will be of any benefit (gas mileage, etc).

I have not dynoed the car, so I can't comment on what power levels I'm at now. However, I did not notice any butt gains going from the Magnaflows to these straight pipes. It's more music to the ears

I'm hoping drive-by vid should be up today. Let me see if I can get under the car to take a pic of the exhaust system...

Here's one from the back:

 

So im joining the darkside. Getting my resonators as we speak. Thanks for the videos M55555

 

Nice! :thumbsup: Report back what you think, maybe with a vid. BTW, easy on the throttle as you leave the muffler shop :hihi:

 

WOw sounds freakin amazing!! Will post up videos once the weather clears up here

 

YES another member of the club!! Glad you liked it bro! Doesn't it make you :hihi: every time you blip the throttle?

Never herd the drive by vid????

 

I'm working on it

Im hellbent on doing the same setup as you! Ah the sound!!! at the shop you went to how much did they charge you to do it?

To install the tips, they charged $70 per side to cut off existing mufflers and install piping and Tim's tips...I'd say average price should be $50+ per side
