Anyone here with HPF Gen II and catless downpipes? - Page 5 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Wes335XI · 09-29-2012, 10:38 AM

Just buy the AE exhaust and call it good. I'll even take a video showing how loud and pleasant it is with AR catless, intake, and FMIC. Those combined have made the AE exhaust even louder and at WOT there is nothing that sounds as sexy.

Sorry, my inline 6 will not sound like a fart can. The guy with CPE and the HPF Gen2 sounds OK, but it still sounds too loud and way to raspy.

Here's a newer vid from AE.

Ive wondered why i havent see many people post reviews with catless dps and the HPF gen 2 exhaust. I know e90 post represents a percentage of the BMW mod population but it still bugs me sometime that i rarely see anyone give feedback on it..

I wonder if the sound is just that obnoxious that a very few have this particular setup or is that many have this setup just not many people post reviews.. I dunno.. whatever. Just my random thought..

I guess i will see for myself when i get it installed! lol....

Mine definitely does not sound like a fart can. It sounds very deep and mean just like a 500hp car should sound like. It has very little rasp and its actually the perfect sounding type of rasp. When I did the secondary cat delete and didn't have resonators, the rasp was absolutely terrible. Now, the rasp sounds fantastic (with resonators) and it's comes into play at about 5000rpm. Trust me, I hate rasp, but this is a race car rasp, not a honda civic rasp or a e46 m3 rasp.

I understand that ae+ar is one of the most popular combos for the n54 but it doesn't sound that much louder than stock exhaust with catless downpipes. It may sound "nicer" or "deeper" but I'm not going to spend that much money on an exhaust that barely changes the decibel level... There has to be an option that makes it very loud and deep with bearable/minimal rasp... This setup seems to be it which is why I just want more videos or feedback

Idk what you're waiting for either lol that setup is going to sound pretty bad ass.

Markyd83 · 09-30-2012, 08:31 AM

Get an ams exhaust. Mine sounds great with downpipes.

Gen 2 has a resonator that's supposed to reduce drone and rasp... Which is why I'm looking for videos of it paired with catless downpipes... I wanna see if it can be loud without rasp

I don't know why you keep bumping your useless 5 month old thread.

I did the test video and can tell you it needs a high flow cat or another resonator because it does get a little rasp through mid range. For daily driver it could be a little overwhelming and I opted to stay with my stock secondary cat-back because I didn't want the rasp sound throughout the interior of the car like this exhaust does. But if you can live with the noise, it's one nice setup. But for the price, you probably could have a custom shop do one for less that would sound just as good or better.

its only the drone thats bothering...i think the above poster is talking about drone and not rasp. there is absolutely 0 rasp and sounds awesome...wish there was another exhaust out there just like this one with the drone above say 3.5k rpms.

this exhaust sounds awesome and isnt even all that loud until you go wot, but the drone will drive you insane right at 2500 to 3000 rpms...and trust me it will drive you crazy i needed ear plugs lol.

but this was my favorite sounding and i have heard almost all of them.

By drone do you mean the same thing you hear when you're inside a gt500? Because I don't mind that at all. Only thing that bothers me is rasp

Lots of other people said they would be installing their hpf exhausts.. No feedback??
