Anyone have a muffler delete I could listen to?

[petrolhead88]

I'm considering my options regarding exhaust mods, one of the easiest and cheapest methods often stated is the muffler delete with straight pipes. Whilst there are various YouTube videos floating about, there's no substitute for the real thing.

Does anyone have the mod on their Z4M and if so would they be kind enough to let me have a listen? I spend most of my time between Bristol/West Midlands/West London but don't mind travelling.

I really want to avoid drone, and am fearful that I'll ruin my car if I cut the muffler's out and the sound is not to my taste.

From what I have seen and heard, the biggest problem with replacing the std box with straight pipes, is the drone, can imagine it to only be worse on an ///M! Apparently it is also a bit on the loud side, to which end I have decided to modify a used back box in a similar way to another member.

I have a 3.0 with a backbox deleted and i am just off junction 22 of the M5 Burnham on sea if that's any good.

This was mine with no backboxes on at all.

The video doesn't accurately show just how OMG loud it was!
Not sure how it would compare with straight pipes, but it would have to be a fair bit quieter or you'd go insane.

Good skills!
From that video I think I'm inclined to keep it stock as it's far too loud. It sounds great as standard when at full throttle, it's just at low speeds that it's a bit muted. But I guess I can live with that.

How about going for induction instead? That way it's nice and quiet when driving normally but a lovely growl on WOT. I'm very happy with my Eventuri, this recent thread list the alternatives. http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=88432 8)
