I've Been Reading Old Posts On Exhausts, Including The Comparison
Grassroots Did. Still Want Opinions On Price, Performance And Best Deal. Thanks-i Know Exhaust Has Been Beaten To Death ,but For Someone That Is Still Shopping, You Can Never Have Too Much Info.
Thanks

Thanks

the hks system is at the top of my list...but i am hoping VK motorworks puts together a system similar in performance/noise levels and blows the doors open w/ a killer price group buy after the FMIC.

Hks Does Sound Good, But It's Expensive-right-1600-1800 Dollars.i Like The Sound Of The Cp-e Exhaust Too.

packinDSS · 08-27-2009, 03:25 PM

I drove a car with catless down pipes and HKS cat back.....it sounded great and was still quite in the cabin. You will hear the exhaust it is just not annoying.

Stock exhaust with catless DPs sounds pretty good IMHO.

edo · 08-27-2009, 04:34 PM

I have ar design catless DPs and stock exhaust at the moment. Sounds great, but after reading Scalbert's thread about Milltek exhaust, I ordered it too. The sound is just like I wanted it to be (not too loud, almost like stock, but deeper).

sabredog · 08-27-2009, 08:33 PM

i thought that stock exhaust sounded the same with catless d/p's .

mmm def · 08-27-2009, 08:55 PM

I'm happy with my AE. Sounds amazing when you step on it, but cruising you barely hear it.

Not at all. IMO, I think it sounds more like a stock E46 M3 exhaust when you install catless DPs.

KWY91 · 08-27-2009, 10:35 PM

I'm voting AE Exhaust, haven't experienced it in person but sounds great on those vid clips! Higher budget? Go for ARQRAY!

sabredog · 08-29-2009, 06:31 PM

i've been searching youtube for a dedicated video of a e90 w/stock exhaust with a catless ar downpipe. can't find one. anybody have a video clip. thanks

Not an E90, but sounds nearly the same.

Personally I have the HKS and I simply love it. The sound is deep and throaty, most hp of any exhaust out there, and the quality is unsurpassed. I really think HKS hit it spot on here.

sabredog · 08-31-2009, 01:00 PM

Who Has The Best Price On The Hks Exhaust For E90? I'm Still Saving ,so I Need To See How Much I Need. Still Like The Ae And Cp-e Exhausts Too.are They Less Expensive?

I think www.bimmerworld.com would be your best bet for the HKS exhaust.

sokdo · 08-31-2009, 04:24 PM

Don't HKS exhausts run up around 2000$? or atleast around that area?

The BMW markup is in full effect...especially on the latest generation of cars.

If you want to connect to the DPs via flange and want cats, ae seems the way to go.
