Is this the best sounding 128i or 135i exhaust?

Agreed, I had hinted at this when they were asking me about other aftermarket exhausts people are using. Could you post a picture of the type of tips you would think to be aggressive, that way they can have something visual to go off of if they decide to. Also, what do you guys think of black/matte black tips? Even if they don't offer them, I'll end up painting them myself.

i dont have any pics to go off but the basic idea would be to make the diameter as big as it would fit in the stock diffuser and have it stick out about 1.5-2 inches

I thought the iCarbon exhaust had a good look, too bad it never made it into production

I do too, but the other one gives a better angle on the actual tips rather than their openings.
