F34 - 328i Exhaust Options

anyone on here do anything interesting with their exhaust set ups on the 328i model?

i absolutely hate how there are no after market systems made for the GT.

my vrsf catless downpipe hardly did anything.

I need to somehow make this car a bit louder, any ideas?

51 people have probably not done anything interesting with their 328 exhaust set ups...... myself included.

Armytrix also makes a valvtronic exhaust for f34 335 which I'm sure can be fabricated to the 328. Would love to see someone here try an exhaust like this

Actually they do make one for the n20

I haven't done anything to mine. I'm about 30 years past the age where I thought having a loud exhaust made me seem anything other than a kiddie looking for attention.

You can always try to delete muffler/res or replace with another more straight through design. Also, most cities have some sort of muffler shop that can bend up something custom for the car.

Not sure I want to spend over $3k for some increase loudness but thanks for the link lol

I might try the muffler delete, undecided.

Might try to turn on the burbles with the bm3 and play around with the settings, see if i can make it sound nicer that way.

Do a DIY resonator delete and tune up the start up roar and burbles.

How could you do that?
Iīve seen some videos that turns up a little bit the poor factory sound of the 328i but donīt know if it is wasting 3000$ on an aftermarket complete exhaust system...If there is something simplier...Could give it a try.
Thanks!

Anybody have any ideas how to turn a single pre-lci 1x0 pipe to a double post-lci 2x0 pipe for my 320-d GT? There seems to be a retrofit kit

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=03_4099

For the F30, but none for F34, and I think the exhaust pipes on f34 are longer

So your GT is pre LCI...
In my opinion there is a 90% chance that the upgrade for F30 that you are talking about will work for your car. The difference could be in the length of the upstream pipe to compensate for the extended wheel base when compared to F30. However, the next expense you will face will is getting the rear diffusor to match the new dual tip single side exhaust. You'd need to source the LCI diffusor and then custom cut the end of the exhaust pipe to center the dual tip in it. I would do that upgrade... - I've changed the tips on my 340i from two singles to two dual tips already.

If you buy OEM new, try overlapping the new tip from underneath the car. If it does not line up well, simply return and get your money back.
Good luck.
