Most of the poeople that dont like it crave way more performance and sound and they opt for something else thats performance derived and delivers much louder sound. Even though this thing is called M Performance, I serously doubt it if you gain any power....so its just for the sound of it. I dont think this axle back is any more efficient then the one I pulled off. Just less packing in there for the throatier sound. Quote:

The only thing I dont like about the M Performance exhaust is the damn price! Even though I found the deal of the year @ $900 shipped to my door, the very next day that proce jumped up $120 on ebay. I think the seller knew he was selling it really cheap.

I agree I think if it adds any power it will be very little maybe like 5 horsepower stock maybe more are high boost. The other exhaust options are kool but after being a horsepower junkie I can tell you the downpipe to muffler pipping will not add much if anything. The factory exhaust piping is so well engineered it will be near impossible to improve. The downpipe should net the best gain. |

Im very curious to see how it sounds with a downpipe. I think youre right it will sound just right and net the best hp gain. Definetely have to tip my hat to BMW for designing the efficient exhaust thought.

Honestly never tried one. I just like the idea of a flash tuner with CAN

I think this sounds just right. Has got the gurgle yet not too loud and embarrassing. Imho, just fit an electric valve control for straight-through effects and adjustable sound control to the max.

Wow, thanks for the comparison. I thought it sounded really muted compared to my E90 PE and PPK, especially on start-up and then you switched to "sport" mode and yep, that's the sound.

I bought off this guy on eBay. But he's not selling them for $900 anymore. Like the next week after i bought he set the prices over $1,000. The great thing is it was $900 shipped to my door. I don't know why he sold them so cheap initially, but one thing is for sure he has quite a few of them. He has 100% feedback. You can see my positive feedback on there and the price he sold it for. Check it out. Email him, say I saw you sold for $900 please do another one for me ![]()

sounds similar to my e92 PE but i'm surprised it doesn't pop at all. mine pop's a lot but it also has more than a year's ride on it. i can tell you, you will love every day you drive your car with it though.

Im thinking about doing my own experiment on the stock oem muffler since its sitting in my garage overhead, I want to see If I can somehow get inside it by cutting it and taking out the packing material and rewelding everything and see what kind of sound that makes. I get pretty crazy when Im bored at home lol just start chopping shit up to see how it works. ![]()

M Performance Exhaust added to AH3
Is it safe to assume that most of the mods applied to the 335i would also be useable on the ActiveHybrid 3? I'm putting in an order for a new car this week - probably an AH3, and wondered whether I can add the performance exhaust?

Ask a member with an AH3 to post up a photo of what the car looks like underneath and compare. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Well, after digging around, and looking at SAMS photo of the underside of his car, I was still unsure.
Then I checked BMW.CO.UK. There you can filter the list of M Performance parts by model. It tells me that you can fit the power kit and the M Performance exhaust to the AH3 or 5... |

Just got my M Perf exhaust installed yesterday. I like. Seems to be getting louder over the last day. Downside is that I'm now that douche revving at stoplights, and I've burned through half a tank of gas in around 160km.

And yes it will get louder, give it a good 1500 miles or so it will really settle in and you will really like it. Congrats on the exhaust enjoy. ![]()
