i have a 2005 325i sport. im wanting to make the exhaust throatier without sounding like a ricer with a fart cannon. local shop wants 800+ for a billy boat axle back exhaust or 1400+ for cat back. does the "sport" have a different sounding exhaust note than the non sport? are all mufflers going to require a mortgage on my kids, even used ones? is there an easier ie; cheaper way to get a better noise or do i need to bite the bullet and let the shop go loco? my car is in storage right now so i dont know, so i ask do i have the valve that i can golf tee on the sport? does a muffler delete sound good and does it hurt the engine or lose power? im a newb so anyone with info/advice please feel free to chime in.
You want advice, here it is: DO NOT mess with the exhaust. We don't drive "high-end" euro cars so that they can sound like the effing loud Mustang I followed down my ridge this evening. You want ricer loud, buy a ricer, simple as that. Can likely find one already has the fart can. Or a Subaru, they come noisy from the factory.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to add value to these threads, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person with the same or similar problem stands on your shoulders.
"sport" just is your steering wheel and seats. Everything else is identical.
Your prices sound high for exhaust work. Shop around a bit. It sounds like they might be quoting you based on a bolt in solution, rather then a custom universal solution(IE Muffler).
