135i aFe Mach Force XP Cat-back Exhaust Review

TwinTurboed · 09-29-2013, 12:16 PM

Review:

My car is completely stock, so this is my first mod. Installation is straight forward, no cutting or bending. Remove the OEM axleback, replace it with this one.

The moment you start the car, it comes to life with a nice grumble. It is noticeably louder than stock, but definitely not obnoxious. The first time I took the car on a drive, I fell in love with the exhaust. There is a little drone between 1800-2400 RPM. 2500 and above sounds very smooth. The drone is not very harsh, unless you are a very quiet type of person. Then again, if you are that type of a person, you wouldn't be driving a 135i.

Overall, I think this is a great exhaust. Also, it sounds very similar to the Performance Exhaust for a fraction of the price! Take a look at the video.

sound similar to the AA axleback, especially with the note of drone in that rpm range.

Sounds awesome. I would buy it if it sounded like that with down pipes
