BMW PE or muffler delete?????
Hey everyone, I am on the fence on if I should spend more money and get the BMW performance exhaust or spend less money and get a muffler delete. If I were to get a muffler delete I would also get a nice injen intake. The price for the PE seems to be the only downside to it, so I am having a hard time justifying the price when I can spend a seventh of the price and get a muffler delete.

Why not just cut the muffle off where the PE attaches? if you like it keep it, if not, buy the PE?

I read a lot of the threads on PE vs 135 vs combining with headers etc. I finally settled on just the PE. It definitely isn't the most cost effective, but I do think it was worth it. I agree with the above.^

If you can keep the exhaust the cost of a PE is nominal. Buy it used. Install it. Drive. Remove. reinstall stock. Sell. It's not going to wear out. Keep it clean and polished.
Sounds sooooo good!!!

Thanks for everyone's replies, I'm thinking ima go the muffler delete route since I just wanna have more sounds when i'm cruising around the country roads. How do we feel about these tips? My car is cashmere silver metallic with black wheels and accents and im a little worried they'd clash with the color...

It's fairly well known that one of the best setups is a secondary cat delete (Supersprint makes a pipe for our cars), and the stock 135i exhaust. I'd recommend this or just the PE. Skip the injen intake, it won't do anything.

The blue tips definitely give a lot of contrast

Burnt tips not too bad lookin! But if you want more sound, the res delete woke up the volume for me. I recently deleted my sec cats hoping for some better free revs and a real ground shaker. JEEZ! Thing pops like no tomorrow and is WAY more responsive on throttle. Got louder and way more raw. Sounds meaner than my friend's M4 Comp. Definitely obnoxious, but I do not mind. I have a straight pipe from the primaries now!! Very little drone unless I mash it in higher gear To many, my setup is overkill. For me, it is just right
