135i bmw Performace exhaust on 128i?

Just like the title states, will the 135i bmw Performace exhaust bolt up to the 128i?

Here's a thread about a 128i owner putting a 135i PE on his car.

Thank you

Do you think pairing this with a resonator would make it sound better, or worse ?

I have a 135i with the PE and use the resonator delete/y-pipe that comes with it and love the sound and get no drone to speak of. Others use a resonator to lessen the sound a little and eliminate any drone or unwanted noise/vibration. IMO the PE is not that loud either way. I think you'd be better off without a resonator, but that's me. It's subjective and others may feel and tell you different.

I'm still loving it. It's a little tame sounding with the resonator compared to other cars. There are times when I wouldn't mind it being slightly more aggressive. It might sound better without the resonator, but I don't have any drone now and don't want any.

I recently ordered one and it comes in today. Hopefully have it on within a week or two. A good exhaust shop will be able to make it fit. Biggest issue is the pipe diameter difference. The muffler portion is exactly the same as the 128i PE was.
