Muffler Delete

So I was looking into getting a muffler delete on my X1.
I noticed when looking under the car it's goes <cats - resonator - second muffler - then the main muffler.>
Which do I take out? Both of just the one at the back?

You can obviously delete whichever one you want, or both.

What are you looking to accomplish?

I just want more sound, the car is too quiet for me.
So is it called a second muffler?

I did the one at the back, mostly for sound, but I despised how it hung so low.

Good luck! I think it was perfect just removing the last one. Can't wait to hear it.

I'd be concerned about DRONE, and a lot of it. There's a bit of drone just disabling the flapper...can't imagine how much deleting the entire muffler.
Oh well, I hope it sounds exactly like you want it.

I think if only remove the first muffler or resonator or both increase the sound and remain the original look of the back muffler.
I think is more cheaper too.
