I was thinking if I opened the muffler up, replaced the perforated piping with sealed pipe, and elminate the exhaust flapper, it would do about the same as a PE but for the cost of pipe and welding gas. I'm looking for options here.
Is the BMW performance exhaust too loud?
Will it piss off my neighbors? (not that i care, just don't want the MP's called on me again)
I like the idea of the modified muffler idea, but if it's a better option to get the PE i will go that direction. Thoughts?

If you got the cash go PE, it's definitely not too loud, pretty tame imo but hits the spot.
If not, just go for a resonator delete, cheap and definitely adds a bit of crackle/burble to the exhaust when you ease off the throttle.
