Muffler delete high pitched whistling

i own an e90 · 05-05-2012, 01:59 AM

Hi , jus did my muffler delete with a brand new 3.5" muffler tip...after gunning it and passing 4000rpm i get high pitch whistling sound...anybody ever get that?..i have a 325xi 2006..also, .fo some reason i dont get the gargle popping sound like i do when i had my bmw pe exhaust...i know people have said their muffler delete , they get that gargling popping sound..i still have my resonator and it looks like they use the stock piping and put a new pipe only at the end..?.it has alot of bass to it no gargling compare to the videos i have seen..iono why..any inputs

is it me or this welder didn't put the same size piping ??? lol is this correct..IM A NEWB ON MUFFLER DELETES...how can i get more growl for my muffler delete??? im using a 3.5" muffler tip...is this why i dont get much growl to it ? cuz the muffler tip is too big..

Maybe the tips are causing the whistle, mine doesn't whistle , And my 330 with md gets the pop if I let off the gas and slightly touch it again I get big pops

I'd recommend a res delete, provides a louder deeper tone

hey bud, remember that one time i said don't ever do a muffler delete?

:
i know its always more prounounced on the n54, and now you essentialy have free flowing straight pipes right? but id say no popping is sign of a healthy exhaust and motor man, backpressure comes into play with the n54, i have no idea about the n52 sorry man but hey..you dont want the thing spitting out flames.

Welding might have not been performed correctly. Put car on a lift, Start your car, have someone rev it and feel around where it was welded, feel any air leaking. If it is leaking, take it back and have them do it correctly.

I have 335i catless, 1 res removed and no muffler, no whistle at all.

???? i hope you do know that there is backfires with stock exhaust... muffler delete just makes it louder. There are "race" exhausts that dont even have mufflers, but since its a brand name and cost alot, no one says anything.

only downside of a muffler delete is drone imo.
