Your Xi Exhaust Setup

Wisco_xi · 02-12-2012, 02:50 AM

Looking to invest in exhaust for my 07 335 xi seeing what you guys have done...

: drink:

Anything axle back (section 3, aka mufflers only) should be compatible with the XI.
Only cat-back system that I know of for the XI is the AE system.

Also, ask yourself what kind of sound you would like. If you like loud and dont mind drone, go with a used Eisenmann (throw in catless DP's if you are feeling bold). Most people prefer BMW performance with DP's as it is quiet down low but loud when you get on it. Same applies to the AE system.

Post videos of whatever setup you go with!

BMW Performance Exhaust here. Install was fairly straight forward and sounds nice.

nailer335 · 02-12-2012, 10:27 PM

All I did was catless DPs and 3.5" Dimisa exhaust tips. Sounds good and looks good too. Quiet when I want it to be and loud enough when I get on it

Should be getting my AE quads in tomorrow along with catless dp.

yes you are! the AE is a great system! hows the tracking info look like? 1 more day till arival?

the AE is perfect. for me it was even loud! but when i have to drive business people around its not horrible. i loved it. moving to just a section 3 for now i guess..right now im stock. btw if anybody has a stock pre lci sedan bumper let me know. lol

get the AE if ur looking for a lil bit of perf gain and great sound/great fitment/great look! its perfect. the quad is great looking!

i thought that any exhaust from the dp back works for both xi and i

This. Nothing is special about the xi for exhaust other than the downpipes. Its just a matter of e90 or e92.

this is NOT true. the transfer box gets in the way in most cases. many exhausts for the i have been proven to NOT FIT the XI. please research people before making an uneducated buy!

Hmm....that's interesting because when I was under my N54 last summer, it didn't appear to be routing around the transfer case....mostly because its on the other side of the vehicle.

sorry its not the transfer case..i forget what is obstructing its path. but i know for a fact the AFE doesnt fit and the vanguard and all them dont fit..but AE fits, i heard Corsa fits, and HKS fits..i know there is a list if u search on google what fits but i forget what key words you have to type in to find the link i tryed and couldnt find it.

Well anything axle-back is obviously going to fit. (Corsa)

but if everything that the i can use fits the xi why doesnt a bunch of exhausts been proven to not fit like the aFE...im just curious man..

ModBargains.com · 02-14-2012, 01:38 AM

To confirm, all axle back (muffler) systems do fit both the 335i/xi models. If your looking for a full cat back system there really are only a handful of choices. One of these systems that are popular and compaible with the xi models is the AE Performance exhaust system!

koh0886 · 02-14-2012, 11:25 AM

another catless dp with AE duals here

C.Shopp335xi · 02-14-2012, 07:14 PM

Did you guys also go with the AR catless DP? If so I would like to know if you could tell any improvement gains and how loud it is in the car? If someone has a video/sound of their AE Exhuast/AR catless DP I would sure love to hear it!!!

koh0886 · 02-15-2012, 11:52 AM

The thing with that though, guess where my car revs while cruising at 60mph. I know because my magnaflow setup drones there too. SUPER annoying.

koh0886 · 02-16-2012, 10:12 AM

yea, i read that it happens to other ppl too but it is pretty annoying. i always have to up / down shift jus to get out of that rpm range. i'm still happy with the setup overall so its ok
