    vanguard or bmw performance exhaust on an e92 335i?

    im contemplating on these 2 exhausts. they seem to be the best for around 1500. so please share some of your experiences with them and i would also like to know which one is louder. they both sound great so its a tough choice...

    I can't give you any feedback on the Vanguard system, but I had the BMW Performance exhaust put on my E90 last week. So far I love it. You can take it easy and fly under the radar if you like, but when you open it up the thing has a great scream to it. You can get some nice gurgle on deceleration as well. I did a long highway run on the weekend and there can be a bit of drone at certain RPM's, but it's not bad at all. I would recommend it.

    i dont really mind drone that much. how big of a difference is it from the stock exhaust? im not trying to dish out 1.5k for just a little more sound and knowing bmw its probably pretty conservative

    I've listened to a bunch of different exhausts and personally I don't think anything sounds better than the BMW Performance exhaust. Though if you want loudness, go with Eisenmann.

    I too am interested in this. I'm currently debating between BMW performance or Eisenmann for my exhaust needs

    I too am pondering... How about the dinan? It is slightly more but how do the dinan vs BMW vs vanguard rate performance wise? Sorry to hijack by lobbing in the dinan into the question. They all sound good but how do they stack up?
