Just get a straight pipe made. Shouldn't be more than a few hundred.

I had it, I took it off I didn't like it that much. Well I didn't take it off it actually fell off long story would it be not as loud with eisennmann race muffler?

[RupertPupkin]

A muffler muffles sound, lowers the decibels. Any muffler setup will be quieter than a straight pipe.

Check out the recent thread where yo.high.red.devil installed the detailaddict catless resonator-less custom system. Seems quite loud and dyno proven gains.

^^ Doesn't seem that loud to me.
The straight pipe for me sounded nice but was very weak till like 2.5k RPM.
Theres really nothing louder then muffler delete res delete secondary cat delete?

[RupertPupkin]

True straight pipe would be castles headers all the way back. Literally a straight pipe with no blockage at all. Would be super loud. I assume you still had stock headers with primary cats when you had a "straight pipe"

Gthaus or eisenhaus or whatever their name is now. Is pretty effin loud.

You cant get louder than straight pipes. you cant put a muffler on that will ADD sound. Putting on a set of headers and removing the rest of the exhaust after the header would be as loud as you could get. AND IM SURE IT WILL SOUND AWFUL. or install electric cut outs after the exhaust manifolds but once again read what i wrote in caps

When I had my 328 I had muffler delete which sounded great, but also tried resonator delete, which equals pretty much straight pipe after the cat. It was obnoxious and I fixed it the next day.

Yeah thats the thing I don't want it to sound like poop, but want it loud.
Can someone relate to me in like real life surroundings how it will sound with:

Eisenmann Race
Res Delete
2ndary Cat Delete
Headers

[engotski]

Pm speedfan. He had supersprint headers, eisenman race (if I'm not mistaken), and don't remember if he had cat delete

[zshortyz]

my 328i has straight pipe, muffler delete res delete and 2nd cat delete, i like the sound a lot sounds beefy

[kiwi29]

Just run headers only with little pipes that come out of the fenders as an exahsut pipe. It'll be louder than a v10 for sure. But uglier than medusa... or if you want louder.. cut the pipes off the your cat converters on the headers and run it. But seriously, a full straight pipe from block back will be loud as shit. Don't add anything to the headers

Out of curiosity how much did a straight pipe, resonator delete, muffler delete and secondary cat delete cost you zshortyz?

Depends where you get it and the piping used. I got my res + muff delete for $160 so with cats it cant be that much more maybe $200+ from where I got it.

[2010 e90]

is that with labor too? because deleting the cats means cutting and welding

mine was 70 dollars it was just 2 cuts one at the 2nd cats and the other at the muffler

you want LOUD? ... take off the following:

Primary Catalytic Coverters (in the headers; either cut them out and weld in straight pipe or purchase MMW Headers)
Secondary Catalytic Converters (right behind the headers - relatively small in size)
Resonator (for a 325, 328, or 330, it's the casing that has dual exhaust INPUT and single exhaust OUTPUT)
Muffler(s) (it's the big fat heavy thing directly behind your rear bumper - this would also be a ~50lbs weight reduction)

take those off and you're exhaust will probably be UNBEARABLE and cops will be pulling you over every time they hear you....

no need to spend thou$ands on an aftermarket exhaust to make it loud... all of these deletes will probably cost you $400 or less (depending on quality and if you put nice looking tips on or not)

This!

[edirtaynine]

why the hell would you want the loudest exhaust set up possible anyway? and on top of that, on a 328?!
