question about bmw e90 exhaust sound...

KikozBeamer2 · 11-13-2010, 09:26 PM

i was wondering maybe someone can help me..is there any exhuast out there that i can put on my e90 that will mimic or sound like those on the infiniti's quiet but smooth..?

You could always take out the resonators.
It would increase the sound level a bit and give it a little aggresiveness, but not very much.
I'm not sure with a 328 how it would affect any drone though.

Its totally different output why you try to simmulate the sound of infiniti? you are talking like can i do something to my voice so i can simulate your voice. Its impossible. My friends has an e92 328i and he deleted the resonator and changed the muffler to glasspack then straight pipe. Both setups still sound totally different from infinitis.

Turbo vs. Non turbo

you'll never get the same exhaust note no matter what you do....

OP has a 328 so no snails under his hood, same goes for the infiniti products.

Grab a couple of coffee grinders and put one in each tailpipe, that should do the trick. I know because my 350z sounded like a couple coffee grinders on steroids.

lol reading comprehension fail on my part. i got no clue how 328's sound with exhaust

MikesBMW · 11-14-2010, 10:13 AM

does the N55 335 sedan and coupe have the same exhaust sound?

The G's/Z's sound like loud cows mooing sometimes. Not a pleasant sound IMHO.

This is coming from someone who used to own one back in the day.

johnsonz1122 · 11-14-2010, 03:41 PM

take out the resonators doesnt make a big difference, at least it sounds exactly the same when u start the engine. i will say the bmw performance might be the best set up. i think i sounds better than the stock g's , but some of the sound of the g's is actually coming from the engine as well.

nope, there is no way you can make one car sound like another. each car has it own note. u can do a secondary cat delete and a res delete and keep the stock muffler and that might help but the sound that comes out of these cars is a bit harsh w/o a muffler compared to that smooth sound your are describing

obviously not an exhaust mod, but mine sounds a little meaner after installing the bms pbx
