Which is the stock exhaust of choice for a 330i?

arachnyd · 04-17-2013, 09:21 PM

When I bought my car used, it came with the BMW Performance Exhaust with just about 1k miles on it, and I was going to trade some guy for his stock 328i exhaust.

I was reading somewhere I think that people were actually installing 330i exhausts because they sounded better than the 328is which were quiet, but I haven't been able to track down the thread. Can anyone reflect on which is the "stock exhaust to own"? or is it moot between the 325/330/328?

If its really a different "stock exhaust" I want, then I'll make a few bucks more just selling the BMW Performance Exhaust and picking up a stock exhaust on here.

Thanks!

Well seeing as though you posted in the N55 section, the 335 of course

they should be the same... And why would you trade a PE for a stock exhaust?

Don't trade your PE is better... Sound and quality

Sorry about posting this in the wrong section. Maybe a mod can move it for me?

This is just a beater car for when I commute. I have other cars for performance and racing. I won't keep it more than a few more weeks now and then I'm passing it off to my wife for her to drive to work. She'll probably keep it for at least 6 months to a year. She really likes it, but doesn't care about the exhaust and stuff.

don't really care about the sound much. I mean its cool, but I'd rather have the money...

Once again sorry about the mispost- I'll go where someone likely knows the answer! haha.
