Preferred Exhaust for N55 135i

zakyzozo · 01-07-2014, 12:16 PM

Cannot decide, please help.

jsmonet · 01-07-2014, 02:30 PM

I'm not sure you could have picked two exhaust more entirely different than those, haha

Rowdy · 01-08-2014, 03:16 PM

Only two choices for most popular? Thats a bit of a farce.. as I'm sure many would tell you Berk, CP-E and maddad are incredibly popular.. and then theres a PILE of others… Like me and the quad RPI setup

BBursey · 01-08-2014, 03:57 PM

I love my Maddad Street Series on my 2011 135i with N55 engine. Great burble down low, nice scream above 3500 rpm, and no drone. It's loud enough that my wife doesn't really like it, but I can still enjoy it in the cabin without windows / sunroof open.

If wife- or GF-acceptance is a criteria, the Maddad Whisper might be a better options.

Cheers,
Bryan

BMW Performance Exhaust. Your gonna love that burble it makes. It is the best.....!

Stohlen · 01-08-2014, 06:10 PM

Berk...

However... impossible question to ask. Watch youtube videos and decide for yourself.

^^What he said!

The PE is really a great exhaust system - it won't disappoint!

New21er · 01-08-2014, 07:40 PM

I like my Maddad Whisper. It snarls and burbles quieter

Grimlock85 · 01-08-2014, 09:38 PM

+1 for the PE.

Its a great level of sound improvement. I think that's a good way to put it.

Bob Z. · 01-09-2014, 09:44 AM

Berk all the way!

Harlequin · 01-09-2014, 11:10 AM

On my 135i I had the Berk Race and changed it out for the BMW PE - first without the Y-Pipe and then with it.

PE with Y-Pipe all the way. Especially if you have DCT. It makes the shifts sound phenomenal.

It's also a fantastic blend of sedate at cruising speeds / when taking it easy and an absolute screamer when you're giving it some right hoof....

I have heard nothing but good things about the PE. I am going to order it today. Thanks everyone for your input.

I think you will be very happy with your choice. Be sure to report your impressions once it is installed!

Ordered the PE tonight for $878 shipped. Cannot wait to get it. My car has been in the shop for 6 weeks waiting on a new engine. Finally getting it back monday or tuesday.

mike@x-ph.com · 01-11-2014, 01:41 PM

I like the AA Exhaust

zakyzozo · 01-19-2014, 06:12 PM

Installed the exhaust with the ypipe, really enjoying the sound. It is the perfect note for me simply perfect.

Zakyzozo: Where did you order the exhaust from?

I bought it on ebay. If you search ebay for bmw performance exhaust you will find a few companies that sell them. You can find them for $840 plus $20 shipping.
