downpipe power vs exhaust drone

propkaPT · 06-09-2012, 10:07 AM

Finally decided to mod my n55 after enjoying it in stock form for 6 months and have been looking into the common power adders. JB4 is on its way and id like to do downpipe as it seems to give good bang for your buck power. Anyway I hate the drone from the BMS pipe vids ive seen on youtube. Is there any combo of downpipe and exhaust that makes our cars sound good...not honda civic with a fart can

AR DPs with any of these; Berk, Dinan, or Maddad. I am partial to Berk but there is going to be some drone with any loud exhaust. They all vary ...I dont have a problem with Berk but some people do complain.

Any DP with stock midpipe and axleback will sound good. I have aFe DP with stock everything else and don't plan on changing it, sounds aggressive when I want it and quiet when I don't.

Well put, there wil always be a bit of drone in that type of setup, even with just an axle back...its more a matter of tolerance.

I have Vishnu dp and berk mid pipe with berk street exhaust and I think it sounds awesome, especially under WOT!

I have the bms down pipe and a custom muffler delete pipe and it's loud as hell most of the time but on the highway, if you can find the sweet spot in the revs it sounds quieter than stock. Lol

You should be able to set the auto delete function and the CES/SES light won't come on.
