There is a very small amount of drone around 2K RPMs but its not that bad, after u hit 2K+ theres like no drone and the sound is amazing when u hear it pass by. I let my friend drive it so I can hear the exhaust and it just sounds AMAZING!

Well idk if id call it a catback, cuz all I had replaced was right were the muffler begins.

Nice exhaust! You inspired me to get one now. Great! So much for taking a "Modding break" lol

sounds great, how does this compare to BMW PE ?
I searched but couldnt find any comparison videos , though there are many videos on youtube comparing stock vs PE

I like how the PE sounds as well, but the AA has a more deeper sound which sounds better in lower RPMs IMO

I just got mine last week. So far I only have Active autowerke upgrades. I put in the n52 software and n52 exhaust.

Thanks, and I am guessing thats why you opted for AA over BMW PE ? I am interested in PE and was planning to get BMW PE. But even AA looks like a good choice considerin the fact that its almost $400 cheaper than the cheapest BMW PE
Any other differences you noticed ?

[JsuarezF30]

I am not sure about the BMW PE, but when I got my AA exhaust I noticed a pretty significant amount of power increase. I went with AA because not only its cheaper and sounds better, they specialize in BMW. Its not an exhaust thet a company makes that fits on any car. AA's exhaust is specifically made for each model. Also, AA exhaust comes with adjustable tips which is a nice feature to have.

I understand AA makes products specific to BMW engine types, which is great. But performance gains on 328 i would doubt

I am not a tech person but would like to know if there is any difference between AA and BMW PE , or is it just because of the name they charge more ?

Im getting a dyno as we speak. I will post the result once i get them.

This is called an axle-back, definitely not a catback. You ill still have your stock mid-pipes, resonator etc. An axle-back is essentially a muffler replacement.

A catback is a full exhaust system. A full catback system for our cars will set you back 2k+.

sounds good!! best bang for the buck

How are you managing to get a "small" amount of drone? From what I have heard and from my personal experience the exhaust gets boomy at 2-2.5k, far from a little. I like the sound a lot though outside.

Per the below thread looks like the drone is still an issue and people have tried a hell lota things to fix it...

I have no idea, Its not that bad for me, I got the exhaust installed by VSM so IDK how they installed it. Maybe my "Little" is "boomy" for you haha.

Do you know about how many miles the break in period is, roughly?
