E90Dmon · 12-07-2010, 09:08 AM

I currently have a borla cat-back sounds good but its just not me. i want something that will sound like a F1 formula car or at least along the same line
pretty loud would be nice but still clean...
and please dont start arguing on this thread everyone has different opinions, respect them, good talk

Vanguard is a great 335 exhaust...could always go BMW Performance too
Not sure if those will be loud enough

JayKay335i · 12-07-2010, 09:24 AM

If you want to sound like a formula car buy a lexus. No exhaust will make your car sound like that.

RoundelM3 · 12-07-2010, 09:59 AM

F1 cars sound the way they do because they have vee-type engines (v6, v8, v10, etc.) that have "flat" crankshafts (power strokes every 180 degrees) and they run at upwards of 15K RPM. You're not gonna get an exhaust system that can even come close to duplicating that sound on your smooth inline-6, even with twin turbos. And the louder it is, the more "drone" you'll get at cruising speeds which will be very unpleasant. And lastly, a loud exhaust may be fine for a high-school kid or a track car, but not really advisable for the street. You tend to piss off too many of the wrong people that way.

thanks for the exhaust suggestion, you could have saved yourself the lecture

MassBimmer · 12-07-2010, 10:41 AM

Eisenmann race exhaust would prob be your loudest option

RoundelM3 · 12-07-2010, 11:03 AM

OK, wiseguy - try the BMW Performance Exhaust. You ask for a recommendation sounding like a know-nothing and I attempted to enlighten you. You could have saved yourself the smartass remark.

Marcadelic · 12-07-2010, 12:09 PM

Eisenmann race or vanguard

Catless downpipes should have a bigger effect on the sound department than any exhaust... Why don't you start from that?

I can see that being true with the coupe, not so with the sedan tho

I335 · 12-07-2010, 03:29 PM

WoW! I thought roundel335's post was very informative - he told you exactly why there's no such thing as an exhaust that'll make your car sound like an F1 car. I would have thanked him for the useful information. Oh well, kids these days...

ryan@ActiveAutowerke · 12-07-2010, 03:34 PM

Active Autowerke's Signature 335i Exhaust has been known for its F1'ish sound and deep growl at low rpms. This exhaust is a true DIY being fully bolt on...that means no cutting, clamping or welding. Take a look at some of the pictures and PM if you have questions.

My sedan is quiet as a mouse even with downpipes. Just a little rasp from the outside thats all.

PeteW84 · 12-07-2010, 06:56 PM

The Eisenmann race would be your best choice as far as the loudness goes.

The F1 sound, buy a Porsche Carrera GT and put straight pipes on...
