Hello Guys

Picked up my 2007 E92 328i about 4 months ago. I find the exhaust to be a little quiet for my liking. I've been reading up on The BMW Performance exhaust VS. Eisenmann exhaust (Sport and Race). Just wanted to get more opinions.

I don't like droaning at all and don't want the exhaust to be really loud. Something nice and classy with a little bit of throat to it when i step on the pedal.

Any opinions/suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

PE is your best bet

eisenmann is louder, and will drone, like most louder aftermarket exhausts

The PE is for you. Your whole description of what you want points to it. I have one on my 328 and it's the best thing I ever put on the car. Above and beyond awesome sound when flooring it and super comfortable under normal driving conditions + Zero Drone!!!

And it's a BMW part so to me anyway this looks like a no brainer.

Close enough I'm in Montreal we have our fair share of wheel failure due to road surface horror stories lol

[MaximusJ]

I feel you Adj5633. We're not better in Quebec City.

OP, I know you didnt consider that option, but you should consider MMW.

[MassBimmer]

For what it is, the Ikon Rogue is great bang for your buck. It's a little on the quiet side but it's great quality

[Dark_Knight_335]

Oh man I hear you. I have 19s and I feel it when I hit one of these shitty jersey man eating potholes. Great in incentive to drive the speed limit, not to mention my 23mph over the speed limit the other day in a safe corridor no less...sigh ...

+1 BMW PE

I have fallen in love with it more and more. I've got about 3000 miles (out of 6000) on my PE and I really like it.

It's so subtle most of the people who are familiar w my car never noticed it until I pointed out the new note. It's very tastefully done.

+1 on PE.
I went with MMW and I love it. The sound has been compared to the PE and I think its pretty close. Best bang for the buck =)

[TommyK]

I agree with all the statements above. its really one of the best options. I like loud and there are others on the market that fit that. but the PE really has the best of both worlds. PM if your interested in getting one.

[kamek]

I say BMW PE as well. There's a video somewhere on the forums comparing the BMW PE to the Eisenmann. I *think* FrankieE90 posted it, but I might be wrong. I know it exists, though.

Tell me about it, I live in union county, and the potholes around here are just a little bit rediculous. I would love to get some larger rims, but I'm afraid with the amount of potholes around here (and the exorbitant price of new rims and tires) that I would drain my bank account in one missed avoidance.)

I'm also planning on doing the BMW Performance Exhaust on my car, tell me how yours goes!

[varcity23]

eisenmann hands down.

great sound, low drone.

[cc_bavarian]

The "sport" version is quiet until you open it up from 3rd above 4,000 rpm. If you want louder go with "race".

I bought the "sport" version so I won't hear any complaints from my wife.

Thanks for all the input guys!!

After reading all the reviews and speaking to Mike at Maranello BMW I am pretty sure i am going for the PE. I can't wait till its installed!

I am new on this forum and did not expect so many replies this quick. Thanks once again everyone!

HI CC_bavarian,

I am also looking for a subtle muffler upgrade. I am almost happy with the stock muffler, but I would prefer a touch more sound.

Is the Eisenmann "sport" much louder than the standard muffler? For example, do you notice much difference on a cold start and at low speed when driving in an enclosed carpark?

Did you try doing a resonator delete to get some more sound with the Eisenmann sport?
