Custom inexpensive no Rasp exhaust setup!

Thought I would share the exhaust system I put together for my buddies E46 M3 vert. Was trying to make a system with very little rasp and for not much money. Ordered a set of quad tips from Amazon, a Magnaflow 11386 X pipe muffler, and a set of bullet resonators (ended up not using since could not find a place for them to fit) Took it to buddies exhaust shop, removed factory muffler and ran straight pipes from section 2, left stock section 2 resonator, replaced H pipe and resonator with Magnaflow 11386 welded in. We kept the piping 2.5" and reused the factory section 2 piping. This is definitely on the more aggressive side in terms of loudness, if someone wants a similar sound but a little tamer and 100% drone free I would put in AR20 resonator towards the end, but overall it's one of the best sounding exhaust setups I've heard, and it was all under $500 with parts and labor. Will try and get some videos and update later as muffler breaks in, as this video was taken an hour after install. enjoy everyone!

That’s awesome. Do you know if those are 3 inch tips or 3.5 inch?

That's awesome, I actually did a similar thing using the Magnaflow resonated x pipe, just slightly different placement
