Very popular exhaust, good value and build quality. Should be a bunch of videos up on YouTube, most will be of N54 motors, but the N55 sounds even better IMO.

i hear it every day -
pair it up with a catless DP - it sound so sweet.
the single turbo have a very distinctive sound.

quaility is very good -
reminds me of the HKS exhaust system for the 335
bolts on very easy.

here's a sound clip with berk catless DP and Vanguard exhaust.

Ya Frankie that sounds nice for ppl into the loud mean aggressive tone. I guess for me the only bmw that sounds right loud would be the M3 the V8 sounds very fitting on that car, with aftermarket or stock exh. I cannot bare the loud start ups and drones with passengers in the car anymore (rather embarassing). But it was sure fun and awesome in my teens and twenty years.

FrankiE90 · 07-27-2011, 09:05 PM

m3 stock imo is not that loud -
but if that's loud for u, then i would
think ur ears are more sensitive. It would
be disappointing to drive with ear plugs.

oh i remember my teenage years -
i believe the Vanguard is a very classy exhaust.
and what it adds is a resonator which if u were an n55
does not have any cats or res on the midpipe.
i feel no drone.
