[BimmerF32_430i]

What kind of setup are y'all running? I've been wanting to switch to a setup like 35/40i but not sure what exhaust to switch to since I can't find many videos. I just got my 430i and figured it'd need an upgrade especially coming from a 335i. Help and opinions would be appreciated!

REMUS is the most popular option for us

On my 430i im running an M2 rear box and a res delete.

Sounds spot on! Nice a purposeful and aggressive on full throttle whilst quiet in 7th/8th on a motorway run!

How's awe vs Remus? I'm looking for something aggressive but also something with no drone or little drone

Nice I saw your thread. Did you happen to get any vids of the sound?

435i I'm running an open Wagner downpipe and a AWE axle back. Sounds awesome

Not just yet! Been a hectic week or two!

Just got coilovers so ill do an all in one video/photos thread on the car when done.

I'm basically straight-piped from the turbo back with stock resonator. Loud, but sounds nice.

I am running an ER catless DP to an AWE midpipe and AA exhaust.

I'm running Muffler delete with a y-pipe connection. Also a Res Delete. Awesome Cold Starts. Little to no highway droning

I'm trying to avoid the muffler delete as it had way too much drone on my previous 335i. I'm sure it Sounds amazing though

Any video of the sound?

[Tisayan]

When I get a chance I'll post it

I have an ER catted downpipe and eisenmann quad, exactly like the one in this video.

You got any sound clips? I just got an AA exhaust looking to make it louder. Do you think it'd be good with just the awe midpipe? I'm in CA so I can't run a cat less dp

This is the only video I got of my set up. I am running the aggressive stage 2 BM3 tune, so its a bit too burbly for my liking. I plan on modying the burbles, just havent gotten around to it.

There are some youtube videos without a downpipe in youtube, if you search long enough you'll find them. The AA exhaust is not that popular with our platform.

currently have a 335i remus on my 328i. I had a wagner catless on it for about a year but took it off now.

Drone usually refers to a loud low pitched bassy resonance inside the cabin, coming from the exhaust, when at low rpms, either when cruising or lugging the engine. It typically happens when people do some or all of the deletes. It can be very annoying on long drives. On these cars it typically happens at 2000 rpms and under, when people do muffler/resonator deletes. That can usually be mitigated by keeping the rpms higher (Sport mode or higher shift points).

Cat deletes don't seem to effect drone and high quality cat backs with a full size muffler and resonator do not seem to drone either. Most people with a high end muffler dont seem to suffer from drone, even with a catless downpipe and resonator delete. I'd say all people with a high end rear muffler and resonator do not have any drone, even with a catless down pipe.

I have a catless AFE down pipe, Full 3" piping, factory resonator, Dinan axle back and I have zero drone. If I deleted the resonator, it would probably be louder and might drone a little. If I deleted the muffler it would be much louder and drone a lot.

I removed the resonator and second cat on my n26 and put a 435i muffler.

I will be putting a 440i (340i) exhaust on my 328i. Cut and weld jobbie
