Do you get any drone? I wish I had a few cars local to hear various set-up's.
I had a resonated muffler delete and it was just annoying around 1.8k-2k RPMs. I'm now running the full Meistershaft exhaust, but not valved. I'm on stock downpipes as I figured values would be open 90% of the time anyway. Exhaust sounds way better but I still feel like there is a drone at 1.8k RPM...more apparent on deceleration or steady cruising speed. I'm now starting to think these M cars just have a bit of that sound profile vs. my old AMG's.
Could it be their LXR pipe with velocity box which removes the stock resonator is what I'm noticing? I have a CP car so when running stock to the resonated muffler delete it had it as well, just worse. Simply worried about adding Catless DP's at this point unless I modify mine to valved if that helps.
On the car running through gears it sounds great! The neighborhood speed and in traffic has me curious again if it's just me or others live with it.
