Now, what you said is true, but look at the mufflers of most systems: they're straight-thru man (with baffle chambers), even the Remus Sport. My observation is quiet systems like Remus Sport shift the drone higher in the rpm range, and obviously drone less than aggressive systems.
Thanks for your input man. Hopefully we both can learn something new from this thread. If not, stock is really not bad, as we should put more emphasis on function (sound while you drive, which is perfect to me), rather than form (how the car looks, and how it sounds to bystanders). I'm not going with form over function this time  . Take care man. |
You might have a point there. I also started looking at non straight through systems like the meistershaft, borla, amuse and now vanguard. Amuse I hear is really quiet but out of my price range. Meistershaft looks promising but from everything I have seen, way louder than what I want. Don't know much about borla for the M3 but I wasn't too excited about their exhaust on other makes and models. So I am waiting for more details on the vanguard system now to see if its really what they claim it is as far as sound.
Heck I might just get different tips and call it day.
