Exhaust/straight pipe question
I plan on getting an exhaust for my e85 2.5i, I want something that's on the louder side, any recommendations? Also does anyone know how loud the super sprint section 2 straight pipes are when installed on a 2.5?

Do the AngryCop exhaust, cheap, louder without being unbearable... (search for it)
for all out pain go w catless headers with a muffler in the mid section then pipes straight out the back (I have this, not for the faint of heart)

Headers double the volume of your exhaust, so keep this in mind if you ever choose to go beyond a muffler.

I have installed aftermarket headers from "bimmerbrakes"
The quality of welds and fit are excellent and will bolt directly onto your exhaust piping You will of course have to put cats in line somewhere to pass emissions. Check out the E46fanatics forum for the occasional set that up for sale Bimmerbrakes were actually clearing out their stock late last year so I was fortunate to get a set for $250.

Yeah there are tons of options out there. I've seen some of the custom exhaust jobs. Some sound great on YouTube. However, I didn't want it to look "homemade". Sure, you could get a Midas muffler and a couple of Autozone tips, but that would look pretty cheese ball if you ask me. I wanted something that had the proper gaps around the exhaust cutout in the bumper, tips that stick out just right with the proper offset, and a sound that wasn't too loud or too quiet. It's also easy to unbolt.
If I want it louder I could remove the center and rear resonators. I've heard that makes the thing really scream. But I'm happy with it. No drone really. In any event, its all a matter of personal choice. Good luck! |
