WTS CP-E Catback

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
Asking $750 + shipping. This is the complete catback setup with midpipes and muffler.

It sounds great, but I am in need of cash and since 90% of my driving recently has been highway I am getting tired of the drone. You can get used to it, but it does drone so be warned.

I recently found out that there's a method to further eliminate drone without the use of resonators via cp-e and plan to give this a shot... It basically entails connecting the midpipes in 2-3 locations via 1/2" dowels and some welds. Apparently this has been tested on 2-3 cars with great success, as the midpipes tend to act like giant tuning forks.

Figured it'd be worth mentioning since it should only cost $20-$30 to have most exhaust shops perform the work.

No resonators, chrome tips, still on the car so no pics atm.

I guess I would consider trying the method to get rid of drone if it doesn't sell. It isn't as bad as it was at first as you get used to it, but since I'm pretty much doing all highway driving and if I am on local roads it will usually be with a cold engine in the freezing temps it is much harder to fully enjoy the exhaust. The method makes a lot of sense though as it is pretty clear the drone is coming from the midpipes.
