I've seen tons of threads asking for exhaust recommendations and comparisons, so I figured I'd put them all in one location for everybody to see and discuss. Feel free to suggest any I may have missed and I'll try to keep the list updated. Also, it would be awesome to add which exhausts maintain the flaps changing with sport vs comfort mode. I'm not too familiar with all of them, so let me know.

Shoutout to Extreme Power House for having most of these listed with pictures and videos, but more importantly for sale at great prices.

Thank you

Thank you for consolidating exhaust options. Nice work!

This should be sticky'd.

Great initiative. 2 improvement suggestions from me:
- Remove "Official" from the title. Official is normally considered OEM, i.e. BMW. Nothing "official" about any of the rest.
- BMW MPE option not presented

Thanks for the reminder, I added the MPE option. I had it in my mind originally but must forgot to add it the process.

As for the official tag, I'm going to leave it since there are "official" black car threads, aftermarket wheel threads, or modified 3 series threads. I think it helps stand out to people searching and will make it less likely that someone posts another "exhaust options" thread which simply asks "what should I get?"
