Magnaflow or Eisenmann Race
I wanted to know if anyone could inform me on which exhaust would produce the best sound and performance gains between the Magnaflow #16537 and the Eisenmann Race Exhaust (both for the 328i).
Thanks in advance! |

I would say magnaflow because it's cat back.
Unless you get mid pipes for the Eisenmann, I think all you'll get is sound. |

I would go with Eisenmann if I got the whole setup, catback. Otherwise, the magnaflow will have better performance. The Magnaflow 16537 is a full catback exhaust, not just a muffler, like the Eisenmann Race. |

YAAAY I got referred haha.
I should do drive by videos instead of being parked. I've been reading the newer Eisenmann race mufflers are being made quieter now. The one I have is from 2006. |

1 for eisenmann race! Just the part three already sound aggressive under full throttle and really easy to live with on long drives too. Thinking of doing the SR pipes

Just make your own pipes from headers to stock resonator, I don't know if it'll make a difference in sound but I wouldn't know what Eisenmann did with their resonator.
SR pipes are worth it I guess, I never heard my muffler without it but I'm starting to hear faint backfiring on D mode, definitely hear it on DS and manual. It's bery nice *borat voice* |

Lastly, you know that guy doesn't know shit since he thinks there's a 25hp gain rofl. As for the Eisenmann, I've never heard it in person but I would imagine it's too loud and boomy. The last thing I'd want is a 328 that screams "race me" and then loses to a lightly modded VW GTI. My personal requirements for N52 exhausts: -100% DRONE FREE. These are luxury cars, not kid's cars. -Little to no "boom." That low womp that sounds like a muffler delete.. it sounds cheap. -Quiet at low revs, refined yet properly loud under accel. PE is higher pitched which is perfect for a small inline 6. Magnaflow on the 330 does this very well to, although it has a low growl instead. The last thing you want your 328 to do is be louder than a faster car. For example, when your car is louder than a C63 AMG or M3, you'll look like a fucking loser. A lot of people want their exhausts loud from inside the cabin - this method isn't recommended. Our cars are meant to deaden sound, so you're going to end up with a car that's way too loud on the outside but "ok" on the inside. Judge from the outside.

BMW PE Exhaust is nice, but it's a bit too high pitched for my taste. I think I'm going to settle with just the Magnaflow cat back. Unless I can find a better price on another system.

Eisenmann +1 for its quality and OEM Look. I just dont like the look of magnaflow with its slanted muffler, i would be weird looking from the back.
also if magnaflow is quieter then PE, you might wanna think twice if you like to hear you exhaust. PE already on the quiet side with window up in cabin.
