BMW Perf Exhaust - Your Opinions?
Seems like the guys in the NY forums have the most meetups and have the most experience with different exhausts so I thought I'd post up here for your opinions.
I'm looking to make my car sound as exotic as possible and the PE seems to be the way to go BUT.... I find the PE a tad on the quiet side. So my options: 1) PE with downpipes - Heard it becomes totallllly raspy up top? 2) PE with second cat delete - Some people say second cats make barely 10% sound diff? 3) Vanguard with stick downpipes - I feel like it sounds like a deep V8 domestic vs. an exotic scream. PROBLEM 2: I would be putting quads onto the PE and not sure how much it will kill the sound. Any input from you guys would be appreciated. |

changing the tips on PEs totally change the sound. if you want a nice deep throaty growl get Vanguard with DPs.

Catless Vanguard unfortunately smells too much for me otherwise I would try it out. PE has a nice scream to it... but the downpipes might cause rasp and changing the tips might ruin the whole sound. Wish the PE came with a catback option from factory and a quads option. |

if u want a nice scream at high rpms, my eisenmann race fits the bill. 4000+ rpms i can make people deaf.

I actually really like the Performance Exhaust with a set of catless down pipes... If I had a 335i, that's what I would put on my personal car, it sounds that good, at least to me.

I heard someone got quads welded and it sounded terrible. He got the stock ones welded back on cuz it was so bad.
