Anyone still run the Harman motive exhaust?

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 04-09-2012, 10:56 PM

Came across someone local selling theirs for $600 and was wondering if it's a good exhaust. It's for an e90 though, would it also fit e92's?. How does it compare to vanguard or BMW performance in terms of sound? Which has the least amount of drone and rasp?

Its loud, people use to run it back in the day when 335s just came out. Im not sure about the drone though..You should ask Shiv he would know.

Yeah, there's not many recent videos on them, and I know the sound on camera videos is totally different from what you hear up in person. I hear that the e90 version will fit the E92, but the tips won't stick out as much.

Bump, does anyone know if Harman Motive only made one version of the exhaust to fit E90's and E92's? I went to this site http://integratedperformance.org/sto...cat=139&page=1 and they listed it as an E90 exhaust, but the picture shows it on an E92. I'm a little confused on whether or not it's universal for both E90's and E92's.

worse case is if it doesnt fit you couuld just get a shop to extend it 2". dout it would cost to much.

Well I'm having a buddy do it for me so I'm not really sure if he'd be able to do that. Thanks for the response though.

Bump, still looking for a straight forward answer. Some threads I've read say it will only work on the e90 some say they're interchangeable. Does anyone know for sure?

I've had mine for the past 40k miles and it's very loud, esp. with cl dp's,(not as loud as the bpm twister cl tb I had on my sti or turboxs cl tb I had on my evo). Fitment and quality is great and I believe it's one of the very few catbacks w/o x-pipe... From what I remember, an e90 will fit an e92, but the tips will not sit flush with the bumper.

Thank you for your response, have you heard BMW performance or vanguard? If so, how would the two compare? Do you know how I can possibly get the tips to stick out more on an E92?
