Quick recording of how my exhaust sounds (so far). 1998 BMW 740iL High flow cats Muffler delete Dual straight pipes from resonator back Yonaka dual twin tips coming soon
This truly does sound amazing! - I've been searching all over the internet looking for the right noise. I own the same car, completely stock but want to open up that V8 thunder now. Q. On idle, is this really loud or can you cruise past the neighbours houses nice and smoothly? Q. Does the high flow cat make it louder? - I don't want to change cats. Q. What diameter are your pipes? ... Thanks. Good clear video.
It's a low rumble so it's not too loud, unless you want it to be. It's definitely louder than the silent stock sound but quiet enough to drive around your neighbourhood without people thinking you're a lunatic. I needed new cats and the high flows went in for two reasons. 1.) they're less restricting. They apparently add horsepower and could possibly improve fuel consumption - that last point I'm skeptical of. 2.) they're a lot less expensive. And with how low my car is, I didn't want to spend $1800 on cats that will likely get scraped and gashed on a speed bump or driveway entrance. I believe my exhaust diameter is 2.25" or maybe 2.5" but can't remember now. E38.org may have the answer for you or try bimmerforums.com - or just ask the parts desk. When ordering exhaust parts they knew what sizes were needed by entering the car data.
Here's a video where I'm driving down my street. It's a cold start so it's actually a bit quieter when the car is warm. th-cam.com/video/UZxRKRFKMjs/w-d-xo.html
take it to your local exhaust shop and have them replace the rear mufflers with straight pipe, and if you still want more after just go back and ask to replace the cats with something that breathes better. i feel the 2nd part isn't really necessary. this'll be your cheapest option. just make sure you get tips first so it doesn't look as ugly as mine did.
Hi, Just admiring your PRE_FACELIFT CLEAR TAIL LENS! I have the same ones, your car must be September 1998... Much better quality than the facelift lenses, with the double thick plastic inside and much nicer red color and nicer look at night too, deeper red color. There are very few of these lenses out there. Do you know where to possibly buy them new? I cant find them.
So do you just delete the mufflers and add a 3 inch straight pipe, keep original cats? No issues at all with cars computer o2 sensors if original etc??
Adam_Aphillyated I cant remember for sure but I think Magnaflow. They were pretty cheap..... stock was hella pricey. But based on the exhaust smell, I think “high flow” just means that they do nothing.
Not rocket science people. Any German V8 car you simply drop the muffler(s) and you'll get a louder exhaust note. Have done it to both my 740iLs, Audi A8, and Mercedes 500SL. Since they come stock pretty quiet with a resonator and muffler eliminating one of the two will give a louder result. Now with a 4 cylinder it's a whole different story, personally I think they don't sound well using this method. lol ;)
Rick Henderson Some of us see cars as more than appliances unlike yourself, these were built for high speed running on the Autobahn, why not open it up a little, they sound fantastic.
@@ZAKIZZY Hello Friend, great video, one thing I notice on my 1995 740il is that when I drive in D its silent and if I switch to 4S it changes the sound of the intake making a sutle sounding very sporty without changing anything in the muffler, I do hear it when windows are up and air condition is on, I would love to hear it passing me by but I do not like sharing my car.lol..lol
I watch this video faithfully
and every time i watch it
is a serious eargasm
i know the feeling man
No lie i wear headphones and i got chills
i miss it!
Best! 🤪
I litterally feel like all tention releases at that point when the engine starts
#majorSatisfaction
yeah, i love the sound of v8 🔥
No shit!! 2 Eurasian Thumbs-Up
NICE COLD START SOUND
this exhaust looks shitty but sounds awesome!
He should had used curved tips like the stock mufflers and kept exhaust hidden. That's how I did mine. th-cam.com/video/vQPN3BLhZl0/w-d-xo.htmlm40s
Nice ride!!! Plan was to get quad tips but this video was made right after getting the deletes and cats done.
Best description.
I love your car, man.
thanks! wish i still had it to be honest
@@ZAKIZZY what happened the motor went out
Dayyyum!!! ❤️❤️❤️ 🔥
your neighbors must love you! 😜
OMG LOVE THAT SOUND

Sounds crazy man ! Wow was that just a straight pipe and muffler delete nothing else like back box delete too ?

TH-cam algorithm ❤️

salam
thank you for posting HQ video
and i was wondering if you could tell me the brand of the high flow cats
Zakir Hussain f
Ibrahim Beelut I believe it was magnaflow. pretty cheap solution.
Hey man, sounds great! I know it sounds even better in person, where are you in Ontario? I'm always around Brampton
Thanks! Yeah I love how it sounds. I'm in Whitby.
I want this beast in my yard😼
damn sounds better than the 750 v12 :))
cant compare a v12 to a good old V8 :)
Figoo YetmisSekiz a v12 with a muffler delete would be killer though. there are some on here and they sound like Lamborghini's
1:15 i came...
lol.... feel free to watch it again whenever you need
Was this recorded near Nepean? these houses look very similar to where I used to live
Rob Ford no, this car has never been to Ottawa.
man that is awesome i did the muffler delete and i love that. are those magnaflow cats or what brand did you get? did you see any power gains?
Yes sir! I'm sure there are gains but no clue just how much - never dynoed, and I don't exactly race it either.
Im back ;) how'd you work around the o2 sensors? Or did they work with the highflows? Thanks a ton
I love the pops
It's all legit, o2 sensors fully operational. Matter of fact got new ones installed when swapping cats.
***** pre vanos motor right? i have a '98 as well
ummmm... to be honest no clue
wow
What did you do to make it sound like that i have the same car and stock its super quiet and i want it to sound like that
take it to your local exhaust shop and have them replace the rear mufflers with straight pipe, and if you still want more after just go back and ask to replace the cats with something that breathes better. i feel the 2nd part isn't really necessary. this'll be your cheapest option.

Do you still drive this car now?
So do you just delete the mufflers and add a 3 inch straight pipe, keep original cats? No issues at all with cars computer o2 sensors if original etc??
Dane Viehe you can definitely do that and you won't have any issues. but one of my cats were bad so I "upgraded" to some high flow cats.
Zakir Hussain "upgraded" haha. ever finish the exhaust?
Thomas Y I sold the car
What brand of high flow cat did you had in this video?
Adam_Aphillyated I cant remember for sure but I think Magnaflow. They were pretty cheap..... stock was hella pricey. But based on the exhaust smell, I think “high flow” just means that they do nothing.
omggggg i neeed one asaaap😖😖
How many miles u got on it?
I was thinking to buy this to my 18 birthday should I do it
Love the car souns awesome im thinking about buying one and sounds just like this is this 3.4 or4.4 V8
This is a 4.4L V8
The Volvo S70 at 0:42 what I came to this video for
Lolllllll
Lmao! What it do babyyyy!
my god that thing is loud
Lol yeah it can get loud
Where I can get the kit or the straight pipe...thanks I want to do the same..I Have same car .....
honestly if you're on a budget just do what i did and take it to your local exhaust shop. they'll know what to do. just buy tips first!!

agreed. nothing like the sound of a free breathing v8
Yes the ecotec sounds amazing with a muffler delete very modern and deep rumble
Funny but good sound
Would these be considered a good first car or would a 5 or 3 series be better
I will be waiting an answer to this too.
JanChali neither
Whatever you want
Don't touch any BMW as your first car, talking from personal experience here lol
@@tehgzizlauw1787dont listen to this Guy, got one as my first 2 years later not a single problem
want that for my il..how much cost
The best sounding wet farts ever!
is it just my imagination or do the non vanos motors sound better
i have nothing to compare to.... but it sounded dope!!
Is it stock Exhaust?
News no. details in description
hi mate can you please get in touch when you see this
Danny Spence What's up
Does the 740i come with dual exhaust or just single?
It comes with dual exit ( one on each side) as stock
yep I have this car but the dual exhaust are hidden under the rear bumper
sk8mon1 thank you !
Saltuk KONDAKÇI Thank you
Take a luxury car that is built for soundproof in Comfort and put a loud exhaust on it really Lane
Rick Henderson Some of us see cars as more than appliances unlike yourself, these were built for high speed running on the Autobahn, why not open it up a little, they sound fantastic.
Rick Henderson to each his own. I liked mine this way but there's nothing wrong with keeping it OEM - if that's your preference.

Marcelo Ramirez you’re going to blow up your car.
what kind of exhaust did you use
Akeem Mosley straight pipe and high flow cats. all in was around $500 including o2's
Akeem Mosley A little late to the party but any particular brand of straight pipe or custom made? NEED this done on mine ASAP!
Danielsullivan74 was just generic exhaust pipe bent to shape. I’m sure stainless steel would last longer and sound better tho
Pls explain what u did i has the exact same car just completely stock
cole nordstrom High flow cats
Muffler delete
Dual straight pipes from resonator back
eimanchaudhry yup good job with the copy and paste lol
shame what kind of banks) ?
Sergei S not sure what you’re asking me
Do it pass code?
Darma Kiss lol barely. It failed twice and then passed on the 3rd after lots of driving it around. Don’t ask me how this happened.
Sounds like a Lexus
The mufflers are terrible, but the sound is wicked sick
So are these v12?
KING KLOUT 4.4L V8
I THINK ITS STOCK🤔
Robi.S what’s stock ?
Mine sounds the Same lmao
Do a pull
i really dont like the way your exhaust tips look
Wojtek Mazurowski neither do I!
bad video
hi mate can you please get in touch when you see this
sorry haven't been checking in. what's up??
