4.4 - V8 Rumble????
 

Hi all,

Should the 2002 4.4 have a bit of a v8 rumble to it at low revs. I'm not complaining, it sounds great but I don't remeber my 540i with this engine having that sound?

I can only describe it as a bit of a muscle car sound at low revs, it seems to be drowned out by the whoosh at higher revs?

I haven't heard another 4.4 yet so i don't know if this is just the normal sound of the car or my exhaust is breaking down? Any ideas?
:thumbup:

Normal...now enjoy! :D

Remove the resonator and get the rumble all the time! :thumbup:

Is it legal to remove the resonator? Does it damage anything ?Do you mean like REMUS&Activeautowerks rumble? :thumbup:

No, not illegal to remove the resonator. No damage to anything, cut the resonator out and you can either replace it with straight pipe or install an X-pipe.

Thanks Ekaz!

yes the x5 is louder and in my opinion sounds better than the 540 because of diiferent factory exhaust tunning
