changing just the muffler

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum. just bought my e92 at the end of the lease and am looking to add some mods. Specifically adding a dinan muffler. Seems like most people change the entire exhaust system rather than just the muffler. can i expect an improvement in sound by changing just the muffler?

I don't want to change everything because the car is still under warranty and i am considering getting the extended warranty as well.

Yes you will change your sound with just swapping out the muffler. People change the who system to gain some extra horsepower.

Yeah, BMW performance exhaust is only the rear section and sound changed dramatically.
