135i N55 Exhaust Reccommendations?

[bawpe]

Currently running VSRF catless downpipes with stock midpipes and muffler

Sounds pretty good on throttle but still can barely hear turbo spool on neutral revs unless I'm in a garage of some sort.

So I've been looking at axle backs

I want loud but not 350z shitbox loud

Thoughts on what I should run??

Berk Street axle back?
Berk Race axle back?
Mad dad?? Even though their website is currently non existent
AFE???

anyone w links or sound clips let me know thank you!!<3

With downpipes, something street oriented would be loud, personally bordering on obnoxious (opinion), but not shitbox loud as you describe.

I currently have a VRSF catless DP and berk race axleback (muffler delete). It is probably too loud and I am considering throwing the stock mufflers back on or getting a berk street setup. It doesn’t sound good at low RPM but at high RPM it is intoxicating. Especially through a tunnel.

Haven't heard this exhaust or read any reviews yet but they are a reputable company.

Anybody heard it?

I personally didn’t want to mess with my resonators. I’ve heard some cars without them or with modified ones and I’m definitely not a fan. Think Honda Civic meets S54.

The BMW Performance exhaust for the 135i came with a y-pipe (resonator delete) and sounds great. I believe they also sold it without the y-pipe as well. I had it on my 135i, which I don't own anymore, and loved it. So did a lot of other people. Look around and you'll find some examples.

Here's a stock 135is which came with the y-pipe:

I have catted DP + BMW Perf Exhaust and it is pretty loud on cold starts (IMO) but it is fine in normal driving. I still can't really hear the turbo spool as much as I would like.

Probably an unpopular opinion here but catted DP sound better than catless.

My current setup consists of a VRSF catless downpipe and the MPerformance exhaust with Y pipe. Video doesn't do justice. Cold starts and moderate to heavy throttle can be quite loud. However, I think its perfect!
