WTB: Touring Muffler and Short Shifter 128i

Hello.

I am looking to purchase a 128i muffler, something in the "touring" realm of sound. I currently have a stock N54 135i muffler on the car. The sound tends to be "boomy" when you don't want it to be, and too quiet when a little more volume would be nice. I think it may have something to do with the pipe diameter change of the muffler creating a diffuser like effect on the sound near the exit. So ideally i'd like to find a muffler setup that was intended for the 128's smaller exhaust pipe diameter. And I know some run a muffler delete, but that would be a little too loud for my tastes.

I am also looking to purchase a short shifter. I was originally interested in purchasing the Dinan kit, as it seemed like a mild upgrade. However, it is NLA. So if you have one laying around that you want to sell, or a comparable unit that provides a mild shortening of the throw, let me know.

Thanks

I've enjoying my Berk Race exhaust. Some get the Street version for a little less noise. Everything else is stock except I also run a Euro intake. The car sounds amazing. Light fluttery sounds on decel. No pops or bangs. Lightly raspy. Does drone a tad though.

I appreciate the recommendation. If something 128 specific doesn't come up, i'll look out for the Berk street muffler as a backup option.

I was able to hunt down a supersprint axle back, which I installed this past weekend. Now i'm just looking for a decent short shifter. Let me know if you have something you want to part with.
