best exhaust for 335i coupe?

phantom335 · 05-30-2009, 07:51 AM

Im new to this BMW thing, i came from the dark side (mercedes e55) and bought a black 335i. love it! just had the VIshnu Procede installed and am stoked on the power this thing delivers. its like a whole new beast under the hood. im looking to install a new exhaust on this thing and have been leaning towards a meisterschaft or eisenmann exhaust. anyone have any suggestions or know where i can pick one up for a good price?

betweeen the two you are willing to get i would go with eisenmann but make sure to get a FULL exhuast system meaning downpipes and all .. IMO

cbad335 · 05-30-2009, 11:26 AM

There is a lot of information, including stickies w/ video clips, on exhaust systems here.

but if you go completely catless with eisenmann race, it's going to drone, especially on AT.
I recommend Bastuck which doesnt drone at all and sounds very exotic but not as loud as eisenmann race.

My favorite 2, both DP-back (eliminate the 2ndary cats), are AE and HKS. Both seem to sound great with no drone. Don't know much really about the 2 you listed, sorry.

AE

Thumbs up on Eisenmann, but they are on the pricey side. HKS and AE sounds good also and more reasonable priced.

rollyn2night · 05-30-2009, 07:09 PM

Go for the Bastuck man.

phantom335 · 05-30-2009, 08:59 PM

thanks for the info. im still up in the air..ive been hearing good things about the bastuck and hks

awei130 · 05-31-2009, 03:57 AM

AE get's my vote!

gt3fever · 05-31-2009, 05:36 AM

defi AE +1

JoeyFiasco · 05-31-2009, 06:06 AM

would've installed my AE this weekend but the wife had other plans..

Sparky66 · 05-31-2009, 09:15 AM

HKS ftw !!!
I believe the new HKS system dynoed the highest in a comparison test against Supersprint, Autobahn Exotics, Borla, UUC Corsa RSC335.

You really can't go wrong with either the HKS or AE

I chose the AE as it was the one of best exhausts out there that had a quad setup !

Zeph · 05-31-2009, 11:17 AM

Like I said, for me it will be AE or HKS... if I had to pick today I would pick AE. I just don't like the H (or X) connection on the HKS I think with N/A that is a must but on a twin turbo car you don't need the balancing or scavenging... and I think each turbo having it's own pipe with no point for turbulence is the "best design". The only conflict I am having is that regardless the HKS is still putting down the power. Both are almost identical for HP, TQ, weight, and dba...

jonm42 · 05-31-2009, 12:02 PM

Does HKS
a) come in quads (couldn't spot it on their web site, but who knows)
b) NOT come with blued tips?

phantom335 · 05-31-2009, 05:04 PM

Either look for one in the for sale section from a private seller, or be prepared to pay full price from AE. The demand is very high on each batch they produce, and they usually sell out quick.

I am extremely happy with AE compared to the Britalman I had earlier. I don't think you can go wrong with either AE or HKS.

get down pipes with second cat and muffler delete

krapnoj · 05-31-2009, 09:49 PM

AE bumped their prices back up to $1999..

HKS is available for $1499
