Anyone done this on their ZHP? Thinking about getting it done, I want to see some videos first if possible. I can only find non-ZHP 330's on YouTube. I want to hear the ZHP exhaust with no res.

This was literally the first video that came up when I typed in "BMW 330i resonator delete"

And there this thread where we discussed a little bit about removing the front muffler instead of the resonator:

I hear that if it is the last resonator just before the muffler, that the difference is not great but that when the car is running (with no revs) it sound just a little bit deeper

Yeah and apparently to avoid losing low end, you need to weld in an x-pipe.

I've also been wanting to do this.

I know that people who have taken out resonators on a 330 have notice little in volume. The muffler is really good at silencing the excess note. What resonators do I believe is cancel out exhaust drone which can be annoying on long trips when running a high gear at lower than 2500RPM with load. :)
