I'm curious to know whats in the Megan housing.

I love the cost of the Megan exhaust....just needs the option for the valve.

The Megan is not loud until you get into it, at normal cruise speeds, it is barely louder than stock from inside the car. I thought of cutting the two inner pipes, and inserting the valved section from the stock muffler, but didn't see the need to after I heard it.

I am very tempted to try this with my 50i exhaust suitcase. Clearly they are going to be different internally, but whatever the differences are I'm sure the results could/should be similar.

Anyone done this on a 50i or 35i and just has not fessed-up yet?

Just checked out another shop and made an appointment for this Thursday! They quoted me $300-400 and about 3 hour job. Much cheaper than my first quote of $600. I'll post some pre-post vids.

Rob NY, my muffler delete is tomorrow. Are you having any 2nd thoughts on your muffler mod? Any drone? Any weird rattles, or heat expansion noises when parked?

I'm going to do something similar to your original post. I'm going to have my shop weld in a straight pipe for "M" mode and leave the regular drive mode quiet. This way, I can stay quiet on daily commutes and have it growl when I want it to.

No second thoughts whats so ever I actually love it.
I installed dry carbon tips on it last night (cyba carbon tips 90mm). Looks really good.
No drone on the car even thought I had removed my resonators a long time ago and no weird noises lol.

When you removed the mid-pipe resonators, did you notice any gains in decibels? Are the resonators strictly there for emissions?

I removed the resonators and installed x-pipe pushing into my stock exhaust. Agree with Rob NY - only a minor, if barely noticeable change in volume and tone. My point of reference was my M6 vert that I did the same and it HOWL'd...

Not trying to hi jack this,

Anyone in NYC has downpipe installed on x5m? I wanna hear that sound and find out how bad is the gas smell. The only concern that I have is the warranty and smell.
