Anyone with a BMW Performance Exhaust

DB9 · 08-23-2011, 01:53 AM

I bought a PE exhaust used from a member on this forum. Since I have a 328, anything above the stock exhaust would've been an improvement! lol.

I love the nice throaty note the PE exhaust gives off and the gurgling sound you can hear when the revs drop.

At under 2-3k rpms the exhaust sounds pretty stealth and I can barely hear anything with the windows rolled up (may be different with the 335). Sure, there are times when I wish it were a tad louder, but that's when I have to remind myself that I don't want to look like one of those riced up Civic drivers with an obnoxiously loud exhaust.

I'm going to make another video and wind it out. Had a tough time doing it last time w/ traffic and all the damn cicadas making noise.

An octave has to do with a pitch of a sound, not with its loudness
