Now before anyone tells me to use the search button I did but i didn't find anything close to what I want to ask. So I got a muffler delete with 3inch tips on my e90 328i back in january and I love I do get somewhat a lot of drone when the car is parked I get different tones and sounds and I kinda feel it vibrate, now this isn't much of a disturbance to me as it goes away when I start driving. Now I want a louder sound, would there be a significant change i sound if I do a resonator delete? I'm fine with the drone I have right now would the resonator delete add more drone? any idea how much this would cost? Any good places in socal/IE??

If you want louder and you are considering tuning in the future (if not already) then I suggest getting catless downpipes if you don't mind leaping the the necessary hoops to get that passed when inspection time rolls around. I know its not what you asked, but just another option.

I do know the benefits of a catless down pipe but mines an 07 so as of now i have to do smog every 2 years so thats a no

I believe most of the drone comes from the muffler being removed. Getting rid of the resonator shouldn't make a noticeable difference in drone.

But what about sound?

Shouldn't be too much difference. Just FYI the e92 comes with no resonators and the noise between the sedan and coupe isn't that noticeable.

There will be some more sound, and I believe it will be more raspy. The difference in sound from muffler delete + resonator delete is much greater than from stock + resonator delete. The muffler delete kind of enhances that difference.
