AR Catless Downpipes + Stock N54 Midpipes + Berk Muffler Delete = DRONE - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Just thought I'd post this to help others as they setup their exhaust.

I have AR Catless Downpipes, stock Mids and a Berk Muffler Delete. The low to mid range (1-4K RPM) sound is awesome. It's smooth, it gurgles, it farts, it kicks ass. However, when you punch it (WOT), you might as well get the pots-and-pans out and join in. Holy "poop-balls" Batman is the drone intense!

Anyhow, next up are Berk mids. I'll update this thread to let you know if the sound improves.

Berk muffler DELETE? Not a berk muffler, you mean straight pipes from the axel back?

Uhmmmm there is your problem.

Would you happen to have any clips of your exhaust setup in action?

TUN3D · 09-23-2012, 09:29 AM

Sorry. I don't have clips. I have AR cat-less downpipes stock mids and the berk muffler delete. Low to mid range is mean. On WOT it turns into a high-pitch, loud, can/drone sound. Thats all I can share. People have told me that berk mids will eliminate this. Lets see what happens. I'll post again once I get them in.
