2011 Bmw 328i Exhaust
 
First of all, I am a car ne00b.
What is the cheapest and safest way to modify the sound of my car? Everything is stock right now and I am not wanting to spend $1000 on a new exhaust unit.

Thanks!

cheap way is to remove your stock resonator out

If you want your exhaust to look like the first set of pics then go to the shop boatcaptain suggested. Or if you want a properly done job, visit The Speed Syndicate

But to answer your question....cheapest way to "modify" your Mom's leased 2011 328i
is by buying one of these:

drive a BMW and want a cheap exhaust? I bet it is auto too, why?

ilvtofu 08-19-2012 09:42 PM

If it's auto a cheap exhaust will probably sound like ass.
On my first car I bought a universal muffler and got muffler man on kingsway to make a custom catback with it. Cost was around $300 total

Another cheap way to do it if u just want more sound is go with something like an ebay axle back. It'll probably sound like ass but you're better off asking on a BMW forum

On my miata I went with a Magnaflow catback and was so much happier with it than all my previous custom exhausts, only loud when I wanted it to be and no drone on the highway. I'm gonna side with what everyone else says, you should save up and get a decent/proven exhaust to avoid disappointment.

If you wanted a better exhaust note, yoou should have bought an M-car, or at the very least, a 335is.

An exhaust modification will likely void your free maintenance and likely lower your resale value.

kkttsang 08-20-2012 03:01 PM

you can get the BMW PE exhaust install by BMW dealership then you wont void anything. but its like 1200$ plus install

Chop resonator + cold air intake

Slow63 08-20-2012 08:27 PM

replace resonators with straights and replace the 2ndary cats with high-flows, should cost no more than 500-600. But don't expect a dramatic difference because it still depends on the engine.

Energy 08-20-2012 08:31 PM

BMW performance exhaust is only way to go. Sounds great on 335s with nice exhaust burbles. Or do catless downpipes or cut out your resonators.

belaud 08-20-2012 09:54 PM

For best sounding exhaust bro, you drill those speed holes in your muffler for extra bro tones, you create more turbulence, thus creating more horsepower.

Thanks for all the replies guys! Appreciate

I'll save up and do things right the first time..

Shorn 08-21-2012 02:44 AM

honestly here's my 2 cents:

i drive an e90 too and yeah i had a loud exhaust before.

but in the end it's back to stock now, cause i realize that there really is no point. it'll get annoying after a while, and it won't make your car faster. attracts more attention from cops, and honestly, loud exhausts on slow cars is just dumb.

it's a 3 series. it's meant for comfort and luxury and handling, these are not 'fast' cars (335's are another story..).


but of course everyone's different but that's how i felt about it after a few months of loud exhaust. still your decision in the end!

if you really want to know i did a muffler delete.

Engotski 08-21-2012 02:17 PM

I have an e92 328i. Bmw performance exhaust has some gains and awesome sound. I plan to do secondary cat delete as it has proven dyno gains from e90post members (approx 10hp/10tq) and enhances the bmw pe even more. Aircare most likely will shut down at the end of its current contract.

328i is not a fast or slow car but definitely decent. I have a manual with euro intake and flashed ecu. I have been able to keep up neck/neck stock g37s. I dynoed at 223.6whp and 203.1wtq at evolution auto

328 with 240hp keeping up with 33xhp car with 7 speed auto? :suspicious:

Yeah, that's not happening.

230hp/200lbft ~3500lbs vs 330hp/270lbft ~3600lbs.

Engotski 08-23-2012 12:14 PM

it is what it is, you guys dont have to believe me. 230/200 is stock numbers

Curb weight
328i coupe - 3351 ibs
g37s - 3661 ibs

im not claiming glory for the 328i (because I do regret not getting a 335) but I was surprised myself

^ is that at the crank or at the wheels?

Energy 08-23-2012 01:20 PM

Both at crank? It's just the manufacturers published figures.

Akinari 08-24-2012 11:40 AM

This sounds alright, but it probably costs a fortune.
