The problem is that the 135i and the 335i have completely different exhaust parts. The 335i is a 2 piece muffler design with a pipe connecting them together. And the insides look nothing like ours.

Essentially it boils down to perforation of the pipes going through the box and more sound deadening material in the case of the stock box and solid, unperforated pipes and less material in the case of the PE.

Those that have modified the 335i stock box to have it resemble the PE setup seem to have had great success in making it sound almost identical (or better) than the PE. Would love to see someone with a stock 135i exhaust give it a go.
