Exhaust with least drone

I'm looking to get a cat-back exhaust and I'm leaning toward the OEM BMW Performance Exhaust for my 2006 325xi. I'm not really expecting any gains in HP, but I just want a deeper louder sound at start-up and lower speeds. Also, I want to get an exhaust with the least amount of drone at highway speeds.

Is the OEM PE the right one for my application or are there other better cheaper options?

The PE fits all the things you are looking for. I'm happy with mine since it adds a perfect sound IMO. I've heard sound clips of other exhausts, Gavin's and DetailAddicts seems to sound really nice also.

Thanks, I'll probably order one from Tischer before they go out of production.

I got a Custom made MMW exhaust for you if you want. No drone at all and you can expect a crispy euro sound pretty close to the PE.

I just have a magnaflow 14815 welded on. It's a bit louder than stock and has a nice growl. No drone and I love the way it pops when you let off the throttle, even with my AT.
