if your last car was a bmw that was normally aspirated, for the most part the motors are designed to have a certain amount of backpressure... so... yes.. you will get more noise but less backpressure, less torque.. and less power.... In essence.. just because it works on a american car.... doesn't mean that a less restrictive exhaust is the key for a BMW.

a simple trip to the dyno likely would have confirmed your concerns on your previous car.

I would recommend going to a dyno now and get a baseline..... and then you will know in the future if your mods are helping or hurting..
