Thanks

I have a Remus that doesn't seem to "drone" but gives it a nice smooth sound (can't tell if there was any horsepower gain though, so if there is it's not really significant). Kind of a crap video from when I first got the car running, but here's what it sounds like. Taken with an iPhone so sound quality isn't the absolute best, and I'm not exactly paying much attention to where the camera is facing since I was driving lol.

On which car? I have the Dinan cat-back on my 328, and it sounds amazing. Cruising with the windows down at 70mph, and it's almost silent. Doesn't really get very loud until 4k rpms+.

I've never had a Dinan, my M44 Z3 was running straight pipes, but I'd cut the CAT and muffler off the stock exhaust, cut them in half, and welded them over the pipe so it'd pass inspection in my county (don't need emissions, but the equipment still has to be there to pass). Don't know what the drone noise I keep hearing about really means though, but this E36 is the first quiet car I've ever owned lol.
