Air Intake and Exhaust question

I am planning to install air intake and exhaust system into my E93, what is the best bang for the buck air intake system out there in the market right now for E93? My E93 is a 328 and I like to convert it to quad exhaust, I heard eisenmann makes a exhaust conversion but its $1700, is there an alternative? Anyone with the experience on this please let me know. Thanks.

AFE intake absolutely. Hands down best one out there.

as for exhaust... I would maybe go with Remus quads. or you can go magnaflow muffler, and then convert it to quads at a shop. Both sound really nice and look good.

Personally, on a non-M car... I think single sided duals looks the best. but thats my personal preference. Quads dont look bad at all. its up to you man.

If you want ideas for single sided ones lemme know, Ill give you some advice on what I think sounds/looks good.

if u want quads i say magnaflow muffler with cybas quad tips. I suggest getting an mtech rear and cut out 335i diffuser holes to make it look nice, unless u don't care about if the tips are far apart on the sides. IMO if i were to do a quad i liked to have the tips a little more centered rather than on the side but it really is all up to u

aFe intake for sure.

check out a meisterschaft or eisenmann exhaust, the mufflers are about a grand each and for a full catback about 2 grand

I think I am leaning toward eisenmann, the catback is about $1700, does anyone know how much for just the quad mufflers?

you might want to call up at IND then because im pretty sure your only getting a muffler for about a grand or so, a full catback will run you 2 grand

+1 on the positioning. I love how the M's have their quads closer together, instead of wide. Looks way better.

The AFE intake is definitely the way to go. In terms of an exhaust you can go with all of the options mentioned above or go with a custom setup! I'll shoot you over a PM with more details!

Which exhaust would give me the positioning like the M? Or would customization required anyways?
