I hate my B&B exhaust!

[10/10ths]

I've got the same set up, but with stock headers and the cat intact, and it's not too loud at all IMO...granted, if I get to close to a car with a sensitive alarm, it can set its warning system off, but surely B&B has toned it down since the early 2000 versions.

By the way Justin, IE long tube headers are on the way along with c3motorsport coilovers, so I'll be seeing you at the track/auto-x soon hopefully.

I heard you got a deal on those headers?? nice. The fit isnt perfect but I'm not complaining. It made for a decent boost in power and it doesnt "fall off" after 6k anymore. They look pretty cool too.

I think Tri-Flo has made thier exhausts a bit quieter than they used to be. (at least for the E30) I had one for an '87 IS in 2001 and I remember it bieng much louder-real deep at lower revs and it SCREAMED at the top end. I loved it.
This last summer I got one for my '89 325i Autocross/Track car hoping for the same sound and it was toned down for sure. This is on a car with headers, and no cat so I was expecting even louder.

trade you for my IE SS exhaust? we can meet half way, like in fairfield...

its just a little bit louder than stock, and a tad deeper tone at low RPM.

i went to the ie booth at bimmerfest and im almost positive its the same exhaust.

SS isn't that loud. B&B is horribly loud I have one on another car of mine, was meant to be temp till I got a proper rear box but cash issues stopped that.

I get stopped once a month with it. I used to like Remus units but they tips all suck now, dollar for dollar the IE system isn't that bad.

I have a Borla stainless muffler on both of my e30's. Unbelievably awesome sounding - no drone, quiet at idle (a little rumble), and loud when you really get into it. $111 from summit for a 2.5" single in/out. Not sure why the hell anyone would pay over $200 for a muffler for a street driven e30.

This muffler matched with a magnaflow cat, long tube headers, and single 2.5" piping is pure sex at 5k.

Ebay stuff is what you pay for. Their headers crack as well as the catbacks. I havent welded on BMW ebay exhausts, But ive TIGed my share of hondas and chevys with Ebay headers and exhausts.

Super sprint...loud?!?! Hardley, it is one of the most mello systems i'ver ever heard. Super smooth, super understated, very nice.

I <3 SS. It's quiet at cruise/idle, and loud enough for me after 3500rpm. it's also held up for like 15 years without issues.. I don't think that ebay exhaust will do that.

[einstein57]

I love my ebay exhaust. No drone. A little throatier than stock. Stainless steel. direct bolt on. Oh and cheap. only 330 shipped. I suspect its the same one everyone else is selling for $500.

What is the right exhaust note???

This sucks, since we are all different we all have different opinions!!!

When I bought my e30 the muffler was broken and the car sounded nice and loud, well bit too loud and had to replace it, I read and read and made my decision to buy ANSA Sport cat back. Now that it's installed I'm not happy with it I think its too quiet. So I'm still reading forums on what to buy. I will go to my local BMW CCA meet this Thursday with the hopes of listening to some exhaust notes to see what sounds good to me.

Super Sprint is isn't loud at all. Its slightly deeper and louder than stock, but not by much imho.

[Jesse30]

those systems are a little loud too. if you want something close to stock go with ireland engineering cat back.

[aaron325ix]

yes i was really interested in advice, i just threw in the trade thing just b/c. So you think super sprint is good? does it have the "factory look"? How Pricey are they? Do you think pricier systems are worth it?
