OK so I've been looking at the 3 series forums about modifying the factory muffler to improve sound.
The concept is pretty straight forward, and wouldn't take too long to do. Question is....
Is it worth my time? I want a slightly better sounding exhaust note, and the pops and burbles of throttle. I don't want an exhaust like Berk or Magnaflow, they seem to loud to me, and the BMW PE would be a good option, but it's pricy.
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?
