e90 n55 resonator+cats delete?

korr · 11-02-2010, 11:49 PM

did the unplugging the acuator mod in the trunk, was thinking maybe having the resonator + secondary cats delete, or just the resonator delete for a better sound, good idea or bad idea? anyone had it done? Any ill affects causing the car losing power or any of that sort?

oh i see....so in this case a MD? i think i came across your old thread long time ago, did you have an issue with the MD or was it someone else

I'm not really sure what it was. It may have been that, may have been something else since I put the muffler on and I was still getting the same results.

there's a mid silencer/ cross pipes - delete that and see how that goes.

Don't kill the planet. There's only one cat on the N55.

I think it's a very bad idea to unplug that actuator. Not only did I throw a CEL twice after 2 months, I also lost a good bit of power. Now that everything is back to normal, the car is a rocket. If you want a deeper tone, just buy another exhaust. IMHO, the N55 exhaust sounds sexy stock. If you need some extra drone, then aftermarket it is.

The N55 exhaust also does not have any secondary cats whatsoever and only x-drive models have the resonators. My coupe exhaust is straight all the way to the rear.

i have a n55 e90xdrive, i have the one down pipe cat, then a x pipe and 2 small cats just like the old n54 exhausts. IDENTICAL to the old n54 set up

I wonder why BMW decided to take this route with the N55 and not give the RWD and X-drive the same exhaust. AWD packaging maybe?

By the way NJ, how do you like the new car so far?

I have the same set-up. Yes, the run flats S U C K ! I'm waiting for my new tires to arrive to go with the 19" setup I have sitting in my closet

I guess if our cars came with a donut, then the trunk would be the same size as the G37 coupe's.
