Catback exhaust advice...AA, Borla or Magnaflow
Having had an Active Autowerke exhaust on my E36 M3, I was pretty sure I'd do the same on my E92, but from the sound clips I've heard, I really like the Borla and the Magnaflow too. Anyone heard some or all of these (catback only) and have some advice about the sound quality...specifically regarding drone?
Thanks! |

AA will give you the least drone of the 3 b/c of the resonance chambers. Personally, spending thousands on an exhaust is ridiculous. I bought everything used for 2k total. Gintani Xpipe with HFC's and Borla race mufflers. Sounds exotic with minimal drone. Was running straight pipes until this weekend. Catless is a little too extreme, IMO

I love my UUC Corsa and it fits your needs. I had it powdercoated ceramic satin black for $150.

Active has done a great job designing these exhaust systems, we have installed pretty much every system there is to offer for our clients, and I would say Active is in our top 3!!
If your curious for a price feel free to ask! Good luck! |

Lots of compliments on the AA. A little drone at part throttle under 2,500 but incredibly rewarding at all other times.
If you're very concerned about drone, the BMW performance has none. It's also a little too quiet IMHO.

I actually picked up a used Magnaflow system that is currently on my M3. I really like it!!! Not only was I happy cause I got it very cheap, but it is super light!!! Definitly half the weight of the OEM exhaust... The sound is awesome, expecially on a freeway!!! It does drone a bit at 2-3000 but nothing super annoying!!! My car before my M3 was a Charger SRT8 that also had a Magnaflow exhaust system. That car droned like a mofo!!! So, I'm very happy with the Magnaflow system!!!! If it helps you, I'll make a video and try to post it....
Oh and I forgot that its stated an HP gain of 16.. Havent dyno'ed so I cant confirm.... |
