Exhaust swap

Nell1995 · 09-26-2018, 01:14 PM

Looking to swap my stock exhaust for my 328i, not really feeling the stocks sound notes anymore(or never did), so looking for something new any suggestions ?

I have a 2013 328i xdrive sportline (f30)

The usual route around here is MPE, AWE, or Remus. Some go with the muffler delete but the notes are terrible.

I ordered and just received the Megan racing exhaust for f30 335i. Also, found a band clamp for 76mm to 80mm (328i are 75mm but the 1mm shouldn't be a problem). Just waiting for that and I'll be installing it.

I did a muffler delete on my 328i, although to me it sounded awesome, the drone was terrible. Ended up buying a second stock exhaust and swapping the mufflers out myself until i’m ready to go to a proper adtermarket setup.

Does anyone have a pdf or a printable bumper cutout template? I've search online and the only coming up is the ~$40 awe template.

I think MPE is worth it.

I almost went this route and due to impatience, put the 335 exhaust on. Although I love the sounds its making, I would have loved to see your finished product before I made my decision. Post up vids, I want to hear/see this.

I wonder if they make a single exit that's meant for a 328 bumper.

I have the n26 so its not as loud as I expected. I'll post a video possibly tomorrow. The only thing that I'm not liking is I have the non-M sport bumper. I did cut it out but it just looks too funny because the tips are round the opening is oval. I'lll have to go hunt for a 335i bumper.

Megan racing does make for the 328i one sided exit.

EDIT:
Additional note: Looks like the hanger on the passenger side is tad too short, so at the moment its not sitting just right. Trying to think of a way to extend the hanger

. Any thoughts or ideas other then getting it welded?

You're right, I can't find it either. I must've been thinking of another brand.

Here's a semi cold start video. Not sure why the audio cuts in the middle, stupid iphone XS max lol.

Would you be able to use this for a 428i to 435i conversion? This seems like its the cheapest aftermarket exhaust to go for
