Has anyone done the PE exhaust mod?

Curious for a sound clip

Not personally, but there are tons of exhaust clips. Just search on youtube "128i performance exhaust"...

Recently done, worth every penny! asbrr is right there are tons of clips on YouTube, it's hard to do justice with a video though it's better in real life!

Yes and it's fantastic. Don't even bother thinking about it, just get it.

I have a PE on my 135i and just LOVE it!!! I even heard a 116i with a PE and that sounds just as awesome. Here is a thread you might be interested in reading...

I can get a decent deal from a local dealer...$1100 CAD ($825USD) plus install.
Still pricey.
Worth it?
Personally I find the stock exhaust to be pretty awesome for OEM.

You're definitely paying the "BMW tax", the OEM quality is hard to beat, but there are good quality aftermarket mufflers that will be cheaper. Consider the new AA muffler for example....

But isn't the PE not just a muffler? I thought for that price it comes with a Y-pipe.

For the 135i, yes and it's a couple hundred more $ than the 128i exhaust which is a muffler only.
