I'd say do it as its inexpensive, easy to replace back to stock and will improve exhaust note. If you want even morr sound, secondary CAT delete would be the next best thing. |

I did this on my 50i and it was meh.... I wouldn't do it again. The resonator has a job to do it its to keep a certain tone, nothing about loudness of the noise. There was a couple earlier posts about this were I linked a good read about them. My take pointless to do if you ultimately plan to do an aftermarket install at some point. For my X5M comp I'm planning full after market cat back. So I ordered the secondary cat delete as a step one and save some pennies to get a mid pipe and muffler next. A mid pipe will already have a built in x pipe or something along the lines of X or H pipe or both.

Bottom line for me is a resonator just alters the sound tone not really the volume, which is what I was going for more volume so I was a bit bummed. Here is a fun quick watch of what they actually do.

My post from the other week. Not sure if it’s more beneficial to remove the center muffler |

Back on the old E70 X5M there was an OEM muffler mod that made the stock system sound great. Required cutting the suitcase open and removing the mufflers from within (either one or both on each side) and replacing with straight pipe. |
