Exhaust options for 2008 328xi

overdrivex · 04-21-2014, 09:29 PM

Hey guys. I've been searching around lately for some exhaust systems. So far, it looks like only the BMW PE is available for a 2008 328xi coupe. I haven't been able to find any other exhausts that will work on a xdrive 328 vehicle. Are there any other options, or would the BMW PE be my best bet?

Hey, The AA works with XI but I think it requires some welding...

I thought about the AA and was pretty stoked when I saw it, but there was a note that said "This exhaust doesn't fit the XI (4WD) and Station Wagon Models."

Didn't have any mention of welding though.

Call AA directly and ask them .I have seen XI's with AA's. I think it requires some welding rather than just clamping on rwd.

Alright that sounds like a plan. Can I take it to a regular shop around me to get it installed, or is there a special place for the AA exhausts? Just asking considering it may be a different procedure for the XI models compared to the RWD.

AA has their own shop in Miami(where I go) and they also got AA approved shops around the country. Other shops probably do it too I suppose.

Apparently AA is the only aftermarket exhaust that is available according to this forum.

It is really not an exhaust - but a muffler delete.

If that is what you are looking for & like that kind of sound - then I'm sure it is quality.

I however, do not like muffler delete sound (& I have 1st hand knowledge of driving on long trip in friends car with AA)

From my experience (& I have had all of these at one time or the other) you can go with either BMW PE, Rogue Ikon, Remus

Just my opinion...

Ah okay thanks. I'll search around.

Thanks! Yeah I would rather have an exhaust system than muffler delete. Do you have a link for the Rogue Ikon? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
How did you like the Rogue Ikon?

The link you posted is the RE

Out of the exhausts I have had - I would rate it a slight 2nd to the BMW PE for sound quality, & appropriate loudness with no drone, for everyday driving - but not by much...

Now when I had mine installed, it was also with resonator delete (same as midpipe system used on PE) - I'm sure that had something to do with the good sound.

Thanks! Hmm...I'm liking the BMW PE so far. Do you know where I can find it cheapest? The dealerships near me want way too much...the cheapest I found so far is getbmwparts.com (going to be buying black grilles from them as well).
