My Stock Exhaust Revved to 5000RPM - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

This thread is being made to help those trying to decide between their stock exhaust and a BMW Performance Exhaust since I'll be buying one before the end of the year.

I'll record a video from the same location (same camera, same distance away from the car, revved to the same RPM, with the same acoustic environment; my driveway) to clearly give a good comparison in sound.

Suggestions on how to improve this comparison welcomed; keep it constructive and away from flaming (I'm not wearing my flame suit).

OK...now I'm kind of torn. The Performance Exhaust is shiny chrome...I kind of like the black chrome on the stock exhaust.

Decisions, decisions....

Sorry, but what was the point of the video, why not wait until you had the "Performance exhaust" fitted a post the comparison up?

what is the point of this given that under load, there is SIGNIFCANTLY higher mass flow going through the exhaust??? It may sound wildly different, I would think????
