E90 328i sedan aftermarket exhaust

BigDogTheo · 10-13-2014, 12:50 PM

I'm ready to upgrade the exhaust on my '07 328i sedan. I would appreciate any comments, positive or negative, on the following aftermarket exhausts:

Supersprint Catback Exhaust (section 2 pipes + muffler)
Borla rear section + muffler
Active Autowerke catback exhaust
BMW Performance Exhaust

Which would you choose from these 4?

BMW PE sounds awesome but if you can do a cutback system then go for it.

I asked this last week. Basically was told the BMW PE was the way to go.

And that is still the answer this week too!

Pairs very nicely with the OEM Performance Intake too.

PE. But the Borla and SS sound great too.

How dare you OP call the BMW PE exhaust and aftermarket item !

lol jk man it depends on your needs and how you wanted to sound the BMW PE exhaust sounds good IMO but if you want something louder supersprint catback will do it

We carry the performance exhaust, active autowerke, afe, GtHaus,Megan Racing and Remus for your car.
The active Autowerke is the most popular

I heard a sound clip online for the BMW PE, sounded nice. Thanks for the positive feedback on the BMW PE. It's between BMW PE and Borla. Anyone out there using the Borla?

If sound is the most important to you, I don't think anything can top the PE. But personally I would rather buy the Borla. PE uses what looks like the same OEM piping which has some nasty crimps in it. So you pay the price of a full catback exhaust but in a way you only get a resonator delete and higher flowing muffler. You are missing the mandrel bent piping that comes with pretty much every aftermarket catback exhaust. But if you don't care about the performance gains that you get from mandrel bent piping (which is not much anyway) then go with PE for the sound.
