I want my E46 325i engine sound back!

No such luck with my E90 323i... it sounds desesperately like a typical V6.

Gone is the 2-3K rpm growl I loved so much.

What do you suggest, keeping cost within 500$.

I have Dinan Ram Air Intake, and you cant even tell you have a intake system. It sounds just like stock. You def get more throttle responce and pick-up, but nothing as far as sound.

I am looking at buying a new intake system and still use the Ram Air portion of the Dinan Intake to improve the other aftermarket intake system I buy.

Muffler delete all the way, if you want the address of my muffler guy pm me, $120 for magnaflow tips and $80 for work. He did a great job too. More info and videos in these threads:

Video compliation

Sound is perfect, aggressive above 4000 rpm and quiet on highway cruising
