Just picked up a 325i with an obnoxious Magnaflow muffler. Looking to do a cat-back. What I am looking for is something tasteful and not going to wake the entire neighborhood. Something that has no harmonics and is a bolt-on item. Any recommendations? Looking at the Ireland Engineering cat-back. Any others which sound great but don't sound like a trumpet?

Just a heads up, but the M20 exhaust is going to be different than the M42 (dual pipe vs. single). I've heard two M20 E30s with Stromungs in person and both sounded nice, though I can't comment on interior noise/sound for those.

I've had one on my M42 a little over a year and a half. I love it. I recently went on a 270+ mile club tour with my daughter. About an 11 hour day, most of it in the car. We held conversations at normal speaking levels (not speaking up over the exhaust). No headaches at the end of the day from a droning exhaust either. I've been there and done that with other cars/exhausts, so I know how that can be.

How was the install of it, direct fit or needed some finagling?

Could you point me to the group buy? If I can get one up here in the frozen north of Canada that would be awesome

Schmiedmann sells the Euro 325i catless exhaust. That will probably be you’re best bet in terms of quality if you’re looking to go catless. You could give that a shot. From a email conversation I had with one of their personnel, the front pipes are OEM BMW, the rear silencer is made by Walker, and the midsection is on backorder. It ships from Denmark so might take a couple months to get over to you if you’re US-based.
