does bastuck exhaust get louder when broken in ?

sabredog · 09-11-2010, 02:40 PM

just installed the bastuck dual exhaust on my 07' e90 335i. i'm alittle disappointed by the sound difference from the stock golf tee modded exhaust. sounds almost the same.any experience with it getting alittle louder after a few miles?

Not sure if it will get louder, but I know the tone will change somewhat once a new exhaust is broken in.

tofu- · 09-11-2010, 05:38 PM

it's not a loud exhaust. mine got a lot louder once i put in 3" catless DPs.

Personally, i think the output from bastuck + stock midpipes/dp was perfect. classy without being too "LOOK AT ME!!"

sabredog · 09-12-2010, 09:49 PM

if i add super sprint midpipes would it be alot louder or just alittle.

ducati955 · 09-12-2010, 09:50 PM

yes, will gurgle and pop more, i have dps and bastuck, love it m ore than anything

sabredog · 09-12-2010, 10:43 PM

i have the stock downpipes and it's an e90 with the resonator behind the 2nd cats.anyone have stock downpipes with midpipes and bastuck dual? what does it sound like ?

badass335 · 09-12-2010, 10:53 PM

yes, it does get a bit louder over time. When i installed mine, it was quiet (just the way i liked it). Then, over a few weeks, it got louder, not huge but louder.
i'm running CP-E catted DP's with resonated midpipes.

it does get a bit louder over time, i was a little disappointed when i first got the muffler installed too. once i put on catless midpipes it really opened things up and it got quite a bit louder, i love it. i cant wait for catless downpipes

Yes it does. I had the same experience as you, was somewhat disappointed after having it installed. It takes some time, I believe around 1000-2000km until it has its final sound note.

I'm going through the same experience right now, as due to an accident my exhaust had to be replaced.

Thanks For The Info Guys.

it should get a little bit louder, I have AR catted DP, Borla catless MP and bastuck quad and sounds amazing. I will try and post a clip later on.

sabredog · 09-13-2010, 12:51 PM

that would be cool daya. by the way ,your car looks amazing. are you happy with the borla mids.

IamBetter · 09-13-2010, 01:13 PM

If you had to do it over again would you get the same exhaust? or stay stock?

sabredog · 09-13-2010, 08:52 PM

right now ,for the cost, i would go with a different exhaust or stay stock withgolf tee mod.i'm not very impressed for the first 3 days,maybe it will sound more impressive after break in .i hope !!!!!

ace008 · 09-14-2010, 02:35 AM

I have the bastuck exhaust, with riss racing midpipes, and an x pipe in the middle. When I 1st got the exhaust, it was almost close to stock. Now with over 15000 miles on it, its a tad bit louder. I have a 335i sedan. Kinda disappointed as it sounds nothing like the coupes on youtube. It's not loud at all. You really have to push the car to hear it. My friend with a e92 with golf tee mod said his car sounds louder than mines.... Perhaps its the xpipe? When I had the stock resontor, it would drone around 2k.

sabredog · 09-14-2010, 08:19 AM

So The Seconadry Cat Delete Midpipes Don't Make Much Difference ? Thanks For The Info. My Car Is An Auto, E90.

Universal_Magnetic · 09-14-2010, 01:18 PM

secondary cat delete made a really noticeable difference for me.

sabredog · 09-14-2010, 01:46 PM

Is Your Car A 4dr Auto ?

ace008 · 09-14-2010, 08:34 PM

I have an E90 6MT.

dlbrooks18 · 09-14-2010, 09:02 PM

do you have aftermarket downpipes as well?

ace008 · 09-14-2010, 11:04 PM

Downpipes are stock. Do you guys think its worth getting catless dps and having to deal with smog check?

sabredog · 09-15-2010, 11:27 AM

I Had Catless On My Car With Stock Exhaust And It Made A Great Power Difference. I Decided That Worrying About Loosing My Certified Warranty Wasnt Worth It Though, So I Removed Them And Put On The Bastuck Exh. Instead. May Go With Midpipes Though. What Brand Is Perferred.
