Loud enough to turn some heads, but in a way where it's low and classy. Not the cheapy sounding ones that people associate with Ricers

fdriller9 · 08-01-2011, 06:17 PM

No drone. No rasp. Nothing loud enough to make people stare and think "wtf."

Tee212 · 08-01-2011, 06:21 PM

I like the stock 335i tone, so just tips for me lol

Ahmad11 · 08-01-2011, 06:40 PM

I have the PE on my 330i and I get nothing but compliments. One time I drove by some guys and one if them yelled dayuuuum!!!

Classycali · 08-01-2011, 11:20 PM

I would like to have no primary cats, no secondary cats, and muffler delete. =]
like a ricer, I want to wake everyone up...

LaLakers91tc · 08-01-2011, 11:32 PM

i like it loud. Mine is pretty loud right now, but it could be louder. It gets plenty of attention, and is significantly louder than any PE on an n52 or 335 exhaust I have heard

Are you gonna be at Bimmerfest this weekend? I wanna see how your exhaust compares to my BMW PE with secondary cats deleted

uweric5985 · 08-02-2011, 11:21 AM

Loud enough to hear when windows are down and quiet enough when windows are up

Yes I will be, so we can definitely compare there.

How much of a difference is there with the sec cat delete? Doesn't sound better?

Leo... I'm liking this poll!

tamster00 · 08-02-2011, 05:57 PM

Leo! I liked it when you had no pipe attached to it

All out and dirty loud!

Dark_Knight_335 · 08-02-2011, 07:47 PM

Loud enough to mask the wood chipper sound in my yard while I dispose of all the commuters that pissed me off during my work week. Seriously though, I despise loud fartcan exhaust sounds, as I am bombarded by them here in shithole NJ. BMW PE and PI produce enough music when I want it, and very little when I don't want it. Drone sucks.

Greenkirby21 · 08-02-2011, 09:21 PM

For me, not much about loudness( but I do want to hear it of course!), but more about the sound itself. is it raspy, does it sound like a cheap tin car, or does it make the car feel more muscular, or does it give it a nice ferrari type pitch.

secondary cats make a bit of a difference, not as much as the resonator, but it is noticeable

amen. That is why I went with a proper exhaust set up for the loudness- It is still a very nice tone, and is 95% drone free. I am sure a muffler + res delete would probably be louder, but then the drone and tone wouldn't be as refined
