Stock 335i Exhaust VS. M Performance Exhaust

M Performance Exhaust worth the $? Or should I just stick with the stock.

I already love the sound of the stock exhaust, but if it was 10x better, I'd probably buy it.

Haha, I'm not sure it's 10x better, but def a big improvement in sound. I just heard it recently and I'm gonna get one. It's a little quieter than I'd like, but it's better than being too loud.

I've looked at purchasing the $2000-$3000 exhaust systems and in my opinion the MPE+Downpipe is the best combination.

Edit: I just watched the new Meisterschaft video and I have to admit that system just sounds amazing.

I just got it recently, its not too bad. I'll admit I had higher expectations as it sounds amazing on youtube videos, but you barely hear it inside the cabin unless you're driving hard. It compliments the M performance pack though!

I have the Akrapovic, it sounds awesome outside the car but with windows up in the car it is quite hard to hear it too. You obviously hear it, but no way near to the same degree on how much the sound is improved on the outside.

I just checked out the video on your latest post, it sounds great and I love the exhaust tips! I just tilt up the sunroof in an attempt to hear the exhaust better aha

In the same boat - I used to love the sound of the intoxicating 6.2L AMG, and while I don't find anything wrong with the stock 335 exhaust, I am looking for a deeper growl.

the sound of a 6.2 AMG is out of sight...its slighter deeper with the MPE especially on a cold start up that's when its the deepest growl at least for me...then you will on hear it when you get on it more and when letting off the gas when it downshifts you get a cool gurble sound.

Yep, that's all I want. I know there's not much to do that will match my old car, but I do love the BMW very much. I'll look into Just have to find some youtube videos

unplugging the valve helps alot for the sound, during start up and at all times after the 90 second warmup phase. After doing the so called golftee mod, I like the MPE again.... still wish it was louder though. if I did it again, go with straight pipes.
