E92 N52 328i Headers + Muffler Delete Driveby

[@TheFreakINcontrol]

Car sounds great man, love it! I got this single exit straight through Magnaflow on mine, obviously doesn't look quite right and is quieter than I wanted, basically the same setup as you mod wise on an E90 but gutted secondaries. This tempts me to go for the delete now but I'm worried without the secondaries I'll get pulled over 24/7. Yours seems pretty loud from what I can tell already.

[@bruce_son]

yep! its pretty loud already, its not crazy loud if you shift under 3000 rpm though. When it goes into the second stage on the intake manifold it can get a bit raspy. I have a 135i muffler going on soon which will quiet it down a bit

[@TheGOATSosa]

Love this build!! I can’t wait to get headers as well

[@JoshTaylor]

Was reading the "Clean slate w $3k" thread on e90post and had to jump in to say that it sounds really good!

[@bruce_son]

thanks josh, I want to make it sound a bit better. I think at the moment its a bit too raspy. I might add a bmw performance exhaust on it to tone it down a bit for track

[@Arma25]

Dope set up if it were me i would delte the resonator you have and add a performance resonator or i would add another resonator sounds really good those headers really give it a different tone

[@gamingoverdose2792]

theres a technique to make it pop crazy without a tune, i have a 328i e90 and i only have muffler and resenator delete it pops more than this. try to rev it on p reach 3 k rpm minimum and let go and lightly tap the gas pedal several times while rpm is going down, and make a video cuz its gonna be lit

[@gamingoverdose2792]

the higher the rpm the louder the pops...

[@bruce_son]

@@gamingoverdose2792 yeah i know of this technique, i still have my resonator because I didn't want any drone but it would be louder probably way too obnoxious. I will post a video of that soon, but i'm pretty sure the resonator cancels out a lot of it

[@GoatedOne201]

@@gamingoverdose2792 too bad resonator delete makes it raspy lol pops are not important. A deep nice sound is important.

[@gamingoverdose2792]

@@GoatedOne201 i got a manual exhaust cutout set up instead of the resonator and when i open it its loud and pops when i close it it sounds exactly like stock even when resonator isnt there

Mah man not lying, I got an E90 328i 2010 and i always do the same thing. It pops like crazy!!

thanks man, I actually switched to a 135i muffler. It sounds much better now

[@farhenheit628of1200]

@@bruce_son you think if I go full straight pipe it’ll sound like doo doo? From the exhaust manifold back?

[@bruce_son]

@@farhenheit628of1200 meaning full catless with headers? Will be very raspy and probably pop like hell also very loud. It will also drone a lot. There are bids of that setup pretty sure. It doesn't sound bad but just not my type

@@bruce_son stock headers and two front cats. But everything after that straight pipe. So header-back exhaust.

[@omayrzahid6197]

@@bruce_son Your car sounds awesome man. I actually have a 328XI with the N51 Stage 2 AA tune. Got AA headers, secondary cat delete, and muffler. Only kept the resonator. I have to say I'm actually pretty happy with the way it sounds. Sure could tone it down a bit but honestly its controllable loud. I have almost 0 rasp. The only issue is the car shaking and ear popping drone from 2500rpm to 3000 rpm. I love to cruise at 85-90mph and at those speeds the rpm is sitting at 3kprm. Not sure how to get rid of it without making it much quieter. I was thinking install 2 resonators in place of the secondary cats.

[@OutOfNameIdeas2]

This sounds creepily identical to my Volvo lol. Although raspier. Sounds great

[@bruce_son]

I added on a muffler, the rasp was too much for me plus too many cops

that sounds awesome! so just a muffler delete and headers?

yup just that. It is pretty loud, too much for me. I've been on a 135i muffler for a few years now.

[@NadeemAli-kr8cc]

Sounds great! Which intake manifold?

[@bruce_son]

I currently have a stock 3 stage intake manifold from a e90 330i

[@thebassmusic5010]

Hey man you think you can send me the link to same headers u got? I can’t seem to find them so that would be nice if you can send me a link for it.

[@carsonblinn485]

Did you have to do any kind of flash tune to allow the disa valves in the intake manifold to work, because the n52 328i manifolds dont have disa valves. Also what did you do for tuning?

[@bruce_son]

bimmerlabs has a free tune for disa valves. Don't spend money on that

[@EmpraMcdade]

Thinking about getting headers for my n52, already did the bimmerlabs tune and put a 3 stage intake manifold and silicone intake boot on it. Where did you get your headers from and is it just a plug and play install?

[@bruce_son]

You will want a tune with the headers or else it will run rich. Having run both, AA or the Aliexpress headers have the same quality. Been running over 2 years hard without any cracks. Supersprint is the best though. Pretty much plug n play other than the tune but it'll still run fine

[@EmpraMcdade]

@@bruce_son okay I see, what kind of tune cause I already tuned it with bimmerlabs to a 330 after putting the manifold on.

[@bruce_son]

Sulev is n51. I would get the headers first and see if you like the sound. It is already pretty loud. You can get a stagefp tune after

@@sethwilliams3909 it won't be that loud. the magnaflow will make it louder. I just recommend doing it in steps so you don't regret on any decisions

[@BilalAndLoveAboveAll]

What kind of headers!? This sounds really good. Gives that inline six sound. Gotta do this to my 330 e90

[@bruce_son]

I used AA headers. Its a bit raspy with the muffler delete, I plan to get some type of muffler sooner or later since it is very loud sometimes. Drone is very little at 75 around 2800rpm in 6th gear

[@Monkojama]

@@bruce_son so it's pretty loud? I have a muffler delete rn, I wanna go a little louder so I was thinking about headers

[@bruce_son]

@@Monkojama kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4Skmnegoa6cqas heres a more recent video of driving with the headers. if you want a little louder, get a secondary cat delete. Headers will basically double the sound

[@Monkojama]

@@bruce_son will shops even do that? I can't fab or anything. I love the sound, of it, all i care about is if the drone is atrocious, like to the point where you can't even listen to music. how would you rate the drone, 1 being fantastic, 10 being you're going deaf

[@bruce_son]

@@Monkojama I kept my resonators so its not terrible. When I had only the muffler delete, I would say the drone would be at 2-3. With the headers around 5, it drones more under 3000rpm but once your above 70-75 it doesnt drone badly anymore. You need to find a fabrication shop. What state are you in? You could also buy the Supersprint Section 1 Cat deletes and basically all you need to do is cut the old pipe and put clamps on the new pipes provided. They are around 250-300

[@BluWTF]

still have stock resonator & 2nd cats?

[@bruce_son]

Yup

[@jordankama5166]

Did it ever shoot flames with this setup after a long hard drive?

[@bruce_son]

No I did not have a burble tune that would dump fuel into my exhaust

[@krispykream6649]

I’m interested in buying headers

[@camlovett2354]

I know 328i’s have a lot of back pressure, do you lose all of it from taking mufflers off? Trying to do something similar to my 328

[@bruce_son]

won't be noticable, sure you can lose a little bit of torque at low end. but it will flow better above the midrange.

[@zureai]

The system is already so restricted with all the cats, and then a resonator. Removing just the muffler will be ok 👌

did u tune it for it to pop like that or just headers and muffler delete ?

[@bruce_son]

not tuned yet, just headers and muffler delete. after the tune it should pop less as it is running a bit too rich right now

[@tjsosby5929]

How hard was the install for the headers?

[@bruce_son]

Just a bit of fiddling around and time. Its not that hard just time consuming to get all the o2 sensors and nuts out. Having a friend help you will definitely make it faster. It took me 5-6 hours on jack stands solo
