i plan on doing a muffler delete on my 335i...but before i pull the trigger, how bad is the drone for city driving, and how bad is it for highway driving? right now i have downpipes, and resonator delete, and it drones a little but not enough to annoy me...please chime in and help me out!

I had it done....key-word "had". In town it sounded awesome; however, at highway speeds you are running 2,500 rpm and it drones BAD. I went back to stock within a week.

I have downpipes and res delete. Would this effect the sound/ drone

Ive said this before, If you can afford Vangaurd or AE exhaust then do it. At the end of the day you have to hack your stock exhaust and it drones like a monster.

I kept my muffler delete for 2 years as i dont mind it, but their are some days i rather ride around in my civic then listen to the dreaded drone.

It sounds good but not worth it in the long or short run.
