Trevor Benoit Do you not get any droning with the resonator delete ? I’ve got a 4.6is and hope to remove the cats and resonator but leave the stock mufflers on.
Well, do not get me wrong, this car is a BLAST to drive. It is loud, and the V8 makes it extremely soulful. And not to mention it handles like a dream compared to most sport SUV's. However, it really is not that fast. Being an SUV, it is very heavy. This is my dad's car, so I am not sure if he has any plans as far as weight reduction mods. I have been working on my STI a lot lately and not so much this car. I hope this information was helpful!
We have since sold the car, but it was not throwing codes as the cut was made after the O2 sensor. Also, we did not measure back pressure, but it was a big concern. However, if there was a change, it wasn't enough to feel it.
@@danielcarey3529 It definitely won't throw any codes, but it will reduce the back pressure. Looking back on it, I think a muffler delete was the way to go.
No problem, Thank You for the prompt response. Your Bimmer sounds absolutely Phenomenal.. I also really like how you filmed and edited your video, it flowed very well. Cant tell you how many stupid exhaust videos I sat through, and 75% of the clip is the guy walking to his car, and the remaining 25% is him only revving to 3000 rpm with wind blowing into the mic, thus forcing me to leave a mean comment.. LOL - Great Video Trevor!!
I know this is hella late, but a "straight pipe" refers to having no restrictions in the exhaust system. This means no catalytic converters, no resonators, and no muffler.
I️ honestly like the way stock sounds better.... if that stock tone was louder it would be perfect
Yeah, it is definitely a lot deeper
Can you translate this in Spanish please? You are amazing
I need to know what is Stock Revs??
Anthony Gomez quiere decir que sin cambiar nada esta accelerando un poco.
Anthony Gomez es cuando aceleras el carro con el escape original a. I me gustó como sonaba mas original que con el resonador eliminado
The best X5 ever
Agreed! I favor the styling of the e53's over anything that has come out since
Both sound badass tbh
Beautiful Video ✌
I appreciate it!
Did you have any cross over put in place? I have an X pipe waiting to go in, just curious since yours sounds fantastic with the stock mufflers.
Thanks! We do not have any cross over. We considered going either X-pipe or H-pipe, but in the end we just when straight.
Nice
Thanks man. Love to see another BMW Trevor out there hahaha
Hey Trevor sounds awesome brother! Question, how's the drone sound in vehicle? I'm really concerned about too much drone😬😬
Thanks man! The drone is not bad at all!
No need for aftermarket mufflers imo,the stock ones sound great with the reso delete
Thanks!

@@trevorbenoit9338 yeah definitely you set up just inspire my instincts..!!! Saludos desde Cuzco 🇵🇪
@@punisherelcastigador3667 I am glad to hear your instincts have been inspired!
This might be a stupid question but how much weight do you think you shaved off the car by going with the straight pipes?
Good question! It is hard to give an exact number, but I would think it was around 35-45lbs. That resonator was HUGE!
Nice. Am looking to get one of these bad boys.
Any further weight reduction in the works? eg light weight wheels?

S1576 You can get a carbon fibre bonnet for the E53.
The big question for me is that is the car throwing any codes and do you know how well the back pressure is now that it doesn't have any resonators?

@@trevorbenoit9338 do you think a muffler delete with keeping the resonators will throw codes or back pressure off?
@@danielcarey3529 It definitely won't throw any codes, but it will reduce the back pressure. Looking back on it, I think a muffler delete was the way to go.
How much louder would you say the straight pipes are compared to the stock resonator?
Honestly, it's not that much louder
Does the setup increases the fuel consumption?
that younglife sticker tho
Ellis Santinac you got it!!
This is not about the weight peopel .. it's about the sound ...
By "straight pipe" does this mean no mufflers?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. The mufflers are still in.

straight from the exhaust manifold is the way I explain it normally.
Hey I have A x5 did you only did resanotor delete?
Yes, it is only a resonator delete
@@trevorbenoit9338 Thank you 👀😊
Has anyone gotten the super sprint headers for these V8 E53 models?
I have yet to find a 4.8 with a super sprint exhaust

What up Trevor?
Hello Bennett
Do you have an instagram? I wanna see more of this car lol
DesiredFilm YES! However, it is primarily for my Subaru! DM me @wingit_sti!
Check mine out I deleted the both mufflers and resonator
