Hi All,

Has anyone removed the resonator on their M50i's?

I am considering doing the same thing and would like to hear some audio clips or videos if you could share please.

Thx

I did it on my 50i, replaced the resonator with an X pipe and cat less downpipes. Sounds like a monster!

thanks for the response, i am booked in tomorrow to have it done?

Any reason why you got X pipe and not just straight pipes where they don't join?

Awesome, you won't regret it.

I originally had straight pipes and the sound wasn't "even" per se, too raspy at low speeds. Then purchased an X pipe online and had that installed instead where the resonator used to be and the sound is now much more smooth and deeper sounding.

ok, so i just had this modification done, holy hell. What a difference, cold start on Sport Plus is insane, normal driving holding gears is insane. I recommend everyone with a M50i does this, will try upload video links asap.

can someone please tell me how to upload videos

The only thing is that if you do downpipes in the future, this will be obnoxiously loud.
