Re: Exhaust to recommend
used to have a sebring on e90 4pot...low end CMI! now 6potter slightly better but still slight loss in lowend. guess that's the trade-off for an exhaust mod on NA engines

Re: Exhaust to recommend
In my opinion, Remus and Sebring are too overrated and exaggerated in terms of it being bassy or throaty or whatever sound many have described. I just installed Sebring quads on my E60 but the sound only slightly louder than stock. I think the exaggeration comes from the money already being spent and thus the mind subconsciously wills itself to believe that its very bassy or throaty or sound like Omar just swallowing Rod's seow.
If want loud or something really different, then forget Remus or Sebring...

MW,
You need to go for English lessons.
I no understand the above.

Sorry, only have PSLE.
My English teacher say it should be "I am ready to show you your hairy legs picture when you overtake me so that you will crash into the railing"

Re: Exhaust to recommend
if it's Eisenmann Race then I dont hv comments to make but if you want a bassy sound, the Eisenmann Sport is very bassy but it drones a little at low rpm.
This sound is purely from rear muffler only, header and cats remain intact. I m speaking from my very own experience.

Re: Exhaust to recommend
Sound is the immediate difference you'll notice. Thats pretty much a no-brainer though at times aftermarket exhaust systems can be as subdued as stock ones. owner preference I guess.
Throttle pressure will be eased up and soon you'll find your car revving more freely. There may be a slight loss in backpressure due to the 'more' straight through design in aftermarket mufflers. This is worsened when you go for larger diameter pipes from cat back to the muffler, removing resonators, or even the cat, and upgrading the headers. Increased flow requires elimination of choke-points (i.e. cats, resonators and long redundant pipes that work like unethical cabbies taking you on joy rides) which in turn reduces backpressure which is correlated to engine torque (Centurion, correct me if I'm technically wrong).
This is usually not an issue on turbocharged or high capacity car models (or a combination of both). I have heard from some 320/318 owners that their low end torque suffered slightly after upgrading. Acceleration from standstill was a tad bit sluggish, but mid range made up for it.
So in summary, performance wise, you'll notice most of the improvements in the mid to upper range (high rpm which most of us don't get to use). The slight drop in low end is something "Velocity" can help to overcome.

Re: Exhaust to recommend
hi, i'm a e90 320i driver currently looking at installing quad tail pipes. any bros out there who have similarly installed such a system on their 4 pot ride who can give me an idea of how much of low end torque i'm losing?
pardon my lack of knowledge but since we typically cruise in the low end, am i right to say that not only acceleration from standstill is affected by this loss in low end torque but also my cruise power?

Re: Exhaust to recommend
Agree with ACS6. i once had aftermarket exos on my e90 320. stop and go plus acceleration on the move all affected by the reduction in torque. more pronounced on uphills. you definitely have to floor more and so much so it's less fun driving on singapore's street. I gave it up and revert to stock
now with the similar exos on a 2.5L there's less loss in torque and more acceptable drivability.
