What are those wheels?Mmmm.....Akrapovic?
Thank you. I am still waiting on my exhust too. Hopefully, we will not be disappointed.This is a fantastic review. Thank you!! I also went with Magnaflow and I'm waiting for delivery. It seems like they have had delays due to the pandemic either with human resource or supply chain but mine is supposed to ship any time. I ordered it January 8th, so I'm getting a antsy but being patient.
Yeah, the stock exhaust with a DP sounds great!!! You will save a lot of money going this route. I wanted to increase the flow to help my turbo, add to the sound of my car, get a bump in power and improve the look of the tailpipes. There are so many good options out there.My vote is “other” for stock. As is sounds great
I purchased the active autowerke catted DP and didn't get a cel error. Maybe I didn't drive it long enough before tunning it to see if the garaunteed no cel was real.I think it sounds better from the outside than the inside, especially with the ASD off.
But it could use a bit of throaty volume to distinguish it's sports car nature from other B58 BMWs.
If there was a true, completely CEL-free catted DP, I'd just do that. But even the "no CEL guarantee" DPs have been known to throw a code.
Thanks for the info. HKS was my top choice, initially. They claimed a 30HP bump in power, and it sounds amazing paired with a catless DP. I went with a catted DP and so I was iffy on the sound that would be produced by that combo. Also, although I am a big fan of titanium tips, I like the carbon fiber tips more. If I was confident that I wouldn't have a drone problem I might have pulled the trigger on HKS. That hesitation made me write down what I wanted, and then I realized Magnaflow provided more of what I wanted. Trust me this was still an extremely difficult decision.I have run into very little drone with the HKS exhaust. The only time I've noticed drone is when I am in sport mode in 7th or 8th gear and cruising while under 2k rpm on the highway. In normal mode with the valve closed there is no drone.
