------------------------------------ Hi Mike, Sorry for the delay. Our fabrication ship keeps telling "another week" and its been difficult getting an accurate ETA. I am hoping they are done sometime next week but I have no assurance on that yet. When they do ship, they ship direct from our fabrication shop located in CA. So about 3 days to your door.

I just installed my Maddad midpipe today. Sound is great with stock muffler. Quite , smooth and a little deeper with easy throttle but really opens up under full throttle with a nice aggressive whine

Just installed my Maddad pipe last night and I'm in love. Perfect combination with the stock exhaust. It also seems to have eliminated the 2k drone people are experiencing. Highly recommended mod!

Sorry to drag this up bu better to use an existing thread I guess. I even found this via SEARCH
Anyway, I find it interesting that people say that Maddad's are louder than N55 mids seeing as N55 has just a tiny resonator in it which I would have thought did a worse job at sound control than a twin resonated Maddad set . I'm also interested as to why people say that the N55 mid-pipes gave nothing sound wise over N54 mid-pipes even though you've deleted two Cats. Why would this be? Granted I do not have a 1M but an N54 135i with BMW PE (stock DPs, stock N54 mids). I am looking for a mid-pipe that will give me more volume over the whole rev range, I was set on N55 mids figuring that they'd be much louder with no Cats in them but according to this...perhaps not? I will also be fitting the y-pipe which comes with the PE, this will delete the N55 centre resonator. Will this make the N55 mid-pipe come to life or is the lack of sound in the N55 pipe due to pipe design or diameter? Now I think of it I've heard an N55 135i with PE in person and it was pretty quiet but I do not know if it had the Y-Pipe centre resonator delete fitted. Seeing as Maddad isn't available in the UK I guess I really have no option to go there however, Berk is available so another option or of course custom Mids. Can anyone offer some advice? |

If you can find a pipe that you could borrow which is already prepped like you described try it with your PE and see if it drones too much or not, that would be the safest way to go. You can also put the N55 mids as they are including the resonator and see if they provide what you look for, deleting can come later if you wish so. Good luck.

Thank you for your reply
I've searched a few more threads and come up with that Berk mids will dampen the sound rather than increase it without DPs. I will fit DPs some day, maybe but that's a way off yet so N55 mids looks like my mid-term solution. Prices for these are pretty low these days so I guess I can take a gamble and like you you say, fit first without deleting the resonator and if I want more then cut it off. I guess the beauty with the BMWPE Y-pipe is the fact that the resonator can be reattached with clamps when ever you want. I've no doubt that if I ever decide to install DPs I'll need something like Berk Mids to tame it a little but for now I'll have some fun with this. Thanks again! |

Not sure where you're getting that the N55 mids have a tiny resonator? Have you seen the pictures of it? It's almost the size of a full blown muffler. The maddads might have two resonators but the combined volume of the 2 if probably about a fourth or less of the volume of the N55s. |
