What are some good E9X M3 exhausts with no drone?!

Hey guys I was just wondering what are some good E9X M3 exhausts with no drone but with a nice German tone and pretty decent performance gains?

Also how is the B&B exhaust on these cars? Drone?

Thank you

Why don't you check out the Engine/Exhaust section of this forum (http://www.m3post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=124). Tons of videos, and drone/tone have been discussed at length in many threads.

MXP & gintani sport are the best I have tried so far. Akra doesn't drone either if you don't mind spending the $$$$.

What exhaust is that? Did you post a vid or review? I know you're one of the exhaust whores on here.

Akrapovic Evolution doesn't drone!

Slip-on would be even quieter yet!

It sounds like almost a straigh through system. I'm really surprised it doesn't drone.

Yeah, I am really amazed myself. I think the gintani quad resonators are key.

I think a lot of people on this forum will tell you Akra. I have the slip-on and will love it. But, to be honest, there is very minor drone. That being said, it's probably a lot better than some of the alternatives. It's very livable. Some people say they don't notice it, but I do.

Nice to see an honest comment about the Akra. If you listen to most people here, you'd think that exhaust turns gas into gold.

The AE Performance Section 3 Exhaust has no drone, yet still has an exotic sound.

If you are interested in hearing it in person, I am located in Orange County.

It doesn't?? I want my money back!!!!

Seriously there is no drone.
At idle to 1400 there is a vibration, which some would confuse as drone.

If you want drone, get a Remus. It drones from 1k-3k

Damn right. It's the most expensive so every talks it up. I'll bet half of the Akra fans havent even seen one in real life

Was your Remus sport or race?

I had an Akra and didn't like it.

It was too loud for the first 2 minutes from cold and would set off the neighbours car alarm.

I didn't notice any drone, but it did have a superb sound which sounded more like Italian exotica. I drive a BMW, so prefer something more down to Earth.

As for power, I didn't notice much difference. Under 3k revs the engine would sometimes stutter which I really didn't like.

Build quality was fantastic though and it was unbelievably light.

I have now sold it and gone back to stock which I am happy with.

Just my opinions, so please no flaming.
