Exhaust advice

willie55912 · 09-28-2011, 12:49 AM

Anyone here with a 335xi with an automatic with a performance exhaust with no or very minimal drone. I tried a Magnaflow #16542 with lots of drone....would make your teeth hurt at 1800-2400 rpms...cruising on the highway. I have read also Borla had lots of drone. Hopefully something that does not sound like a Farmall tractor...I have heard a few of these on BMW's. Seems this is a problem with the automatics. Thanks.

I have that setup and it is very nice! At highway speeds just cruising it sounds slightly louder than stock. Very pleased with it. I've had it for over a year now too.

I have Dinan exhaust with Vishnu DP and it sounds great. NO drone not even at cruising speeds. I was worried about drone when I installed my DP but it sounds great
