Should I keep my exhaust looking OEM?

Planning a custom exhaust for my E92 330i yet been contemplating whether to keep the OEM look with the dual 3" tips (left side) or do a 335i style with 4" tips.

Now I am not trying to replicate a 335i, in fact I still do and will be having my 330i badge on. Only reason for my thinking is that to my eye the 335i setup does seem more symmetrical/balanced from the back and 4" tips looks nice in my opinion.

However, a part of me does like keeping it OEM! specially as there are tons of 335d/i's and converted 320d's out there.

I thought i share it here and get some opinions from you guys.

(Excuse the poll saying 325i can't edit it)

Keep it OEM. 4 inch dual tips looks chav as hell, and copies of 335 is lame.

I installed the original 335i exhaust, because I like the symmetry of the exhausts from the back. I was also looking for the same sound as the 335i, it seems to me a very nice sound and at the same time discreet. I attach a video of the change.

That sounds great. Adding a tip the other side isn't going to make any difference in sound type, bit louder maybe, but thats it.

I voted OEM only because then I know I`m guaranteed to beat you off the lights at a quick glance

Go with the look you prefer amigo, if you feel the 335 look is worth the work and you prefer it then do it!

OEM all the way.

The symmetry thing is open to interpretation. You could argue that having the exhaust exit on the left creates more symmetry with the 330i badge on the right...
