Berk Midpipes on N55

bmw0bsession · 06-18-2013, 10:54 AM

Hello everyone!

I have an N55 with a Catless DP, Stock mids (with resonator delete), and a Berk axle back street exhaust. If I were to get the Berk mids for my n55, what exactly would this do for my sound? Is it louder? Is it quieter? Deeper?

Thanks!

I was actually wondering this exact same thing.

I'd say a bit more exotic sounding in the upper rev range I love my berk mids with the axle back

How bout on cold starts? Will it quiet it down a bit more? Im catless with Dinan axleback and at startup the raspyness from the catless is just Redonculous. Ive been thinking about switching to n54 mids to kill that rasp

The start ups aren't bad at all it will be loud tho, I think if you put the stock n54 mid pipes on it will help alot

Dude...go Berk. They are awesome. I put them on maybe a month ago and I'm thoroughly pleased. took care of all rasp, gave me larger piping so it doesn't restrict flow, and sounds amazing when I get on it.

You said you prefer an exhaust to bring out the engine harmonics right... these do it so well! you won't be disappointed with them.
