340i mid pipe?

Anyone know if I should just delete my resonators, or get a legit mid pipe for my 340i?

Don't do either.

Get a downpipe or change the muffler.

A pipe is a pipe. I paid $100 for my res delete, you really want to pay $4-500 for a name brand pipe?

Yeah but the M performance exhaust doesn't come with any resonators. Just a mid pipe and the muffler

That's true, any idea how good it sounds?

There's a bunch of clips if you search the forum. I have a 335 with catless DP and res delete, I love it, sounds mean as hell

Here's a vid I made a few weeks ago

Safe route would be to get a brand name

Of course there is a cheaper way to do it but consider 2 things.

1-Sometimes it does not go as planned and customers end up with a leaky pipe.
2-When it is time to sell the car, you will need to reinstall the resonators

If you go to a reputable muffler shop that knows how to weld it's well worth the money.

But... one should learn the purpose of the resonator before deciding to hack it off. It's always best to keep a resonator in your exhaust setup.

I have the AA exhaust with res delete and it sounds like heaven, at least to me. There's a drone from about 1500-1800 rpm, but that's it.

This is on a 335 though, so I can't speak to how the B58's system would sound. I'm sure there clips out there.

Do you have a video of the AA exhaust?

Crappy quality, and not mine (the person I bought the car from), but here you go! Will get a better video soon - just picked her up last week.
