Nice sounding exhaust for n20 possible?
So aside from the $1,300 SuperSprint exhaust, there's no alternatives for the n20 e84?
Any way to achieve a deep throaty sound by changing or removing resonators/mufflers? I already have a DP btw. |

I still have both and at cruising speed in quiet. When you get on it, it's loud but the perfect amount. |

So far the few videos I've seen for 28i aftermarket exhaust generates less than inspiring "brap! brap! brap!" noise. The one posted included. Not a fan.
Maybe new generation of BMWs don't sound nice and therefore comes with synthetic exhaust notes via the speakers. YMMV of course. |

I get that not everyone likes that though... at end of the day it's a turbo 4 cyl and need to accept that "good" 4cyl is different from "good" 6cyl or 8+ cyl |

Subaru uses a horizonally opposed engine (boxer). No amount of tubing in the world will get a different engine layout to sound similar, inline 4 included.

True. I was only posting to show that it's possible for the n20 to sound somewhat decent/better. Anyone try a custom exhaust using parts from Magnaflow, Flowmaster, or Vibrant?

I have DP + custom 3" mandrel bend with a Vibrant streetpower 1149 since was the only exhaust that I could find that had 3" inlet with dual 3" slashcut tips.
Later on i will put a V-Band between DP and Exhaust to avoid de 2.5" reduction on the DP. |

Since our e84 is based off the e9x chassis, would the cat-backs that fit the e9x work for our e84s? Personally I'd be happy to get rid of the clickity clack from the n20. So friggin nasty. |

No it won't fit. You would need to modify it. And at that point you should just go custom.
