Help Me Pick An Exhaust

WLF · 04-23-2014, 04:19 PM

Hey guys,
After much research i am now deciding between AA and Performance Exhaust for my e92 335 ( remus only has quad tips thats why im not considering it.
Everything else that i like have a way higher price tag.
BTW i can get the performance exhaust for around 1100$ and i can also get a good discount on the AA exhaust.
Please reply by answering the following questions.

Which exhaust has higher tone on cold start?
Which exhaust has higher tone on low RPM ( warm car)?
Which exhaust has higher tone on high rpm (warm car)?
Which exhaust has a deeper (exotic ) tone ?
Which exhaust has less drone?
Which exhaust would you get?

My vote goes to the Performance Exhaust.

Should change ur name from WLF to WTF.

All the exhausts are lame. Better off doing a custom ss turbo back exhaust

I'm slightly biased as I just bought the performance exhaust and I love it but:

Which exhaust has higher tone on cold start? PE
Which exhaust has higher tone on low RPM ( warm car)? AA
Which exhaust has higher tone on high rpm (warm car)? PE
Which exhaust has a deeper (exotic ) tone ? PE
Which exhaust has less drone? not sure; mine has very little and doesn't bother me
Which exhaust would you get? PE

again, those are just opinion.

I say get perf exhaust for the sound and AA for the weight reduction

tc535i · 05-01-2014, 09:49 PM

There's a guy an hour from me that will do the PE mod for $250, I may have to jump on that

Cloud9blue · 05-02-2014, 07:37 AM

Try to locate a AE system while you still can. I just bought one from Jeff at TopGearSolution. There might still a few laying around.

JStang · 05-02-2014, 07:44 AM

I had the Dianan Free flow exhaust for a few years. Loved everything about it but wanted a little more sound.

I now have the PE. Definitely louder and a more exotic sound but I miss the Dinan tips.

TeinBMW · 05-02-2014, 08:16 AM

Pe is the way to go. Very nice note

TT3 iN NyC · 05-02-2014, 10:16 AM

if you have an N54 i recommend getting 335iS mufflers with AR catless downpipes and stock mid pipes with 2nd cats in place. Thats what i have an honestly, sounds much better than PE.

iturbo_bmw · 05-02-2014, 12:41 PM

how does the performance exhaust with catless downpipes tho?

and you can't change out the tips right? it changes the sound right

Sounds virtually identical to mine and I have the PE with Race Cats instead of the stock Secondaries.

1chanc3 · 05-02-2014, 01:37 PM

I love the sound of the PE, but i can't justify spending $1200 for just sound.....

Stucks · 05-02-2014, 01:49 PM

stick with stock style exhausts. bmw performance exhaust, bmw 335is exhaust, all sound great.

def cut out the stock secondarys and weld in high flow cats or resonators though.
