If price did not matter...

CVohra · 10-01-2012, 01:12 AM

what Down pipe would you get? so far i like the sound of Vishnu 3.5". I want my car to sound throaty but to still have MINIMAL to NO DRONE at all.

eyim1988 · 10-01-2012, 01:29 AM

They all sound the same imo

melloww22 · 10-01-2012, 01:35 AM

you should be concern with best fitment first, follow by sound second...

WesleyC · 10-01-2012, 02:39 AM

All the downpipes are more or less the same (sound wise). What you're paying for is quality of the materials/build quality and fitment.

mashimarho · 10-01-2012, 07:20 AM

All catless downpipes serve the same purpose.... They sound 95% the same from what I've seen. With that being said, I'd say go with BMS because their price and quality.
No drone, perfect fitment, sounds like a beast. Best price.

Now, if you want to sound like a big shot... Go with the AR or something.

Extra $150-200 for the same product.

Do you have a stock exhaust?

SpartanGA · 10-01-2012, 10:55 AM

exhaust/muffler changes the sound....a through pipe is a through pipe

fasteddie222 · 10-01-2012, 12:05 PM

I have AA exhaust and iCarbon downpipes with no drone. My car sounds awesome I get a lot of compliments on it.

Nah, if you want to be a big shot, go with Akrapovic.

BMW_Belgier · 10-01-2012, 07:34 PM

I like the work of the AR guys!

Mine will come from them

melloww22 · 10-02-2012, 12:48 PM

AR fitment is really good, not to mention the great sound

What? WHy are you parting out?

badblkX6 · 10-02-2012, 11:00 PM

I have the BMS dp and love it.

Any catless dp is better than stock.

Beemw335 · 10-03-2012, 12:46 AM

Different mufflers/resonators will make the exhaust sound different.
A pipe is a pipe. Get the cheapest and best fitting one.
