Exhaust????

[Hodge]

Well, I haven't heard an exhaust that does sound good with the M42. They all usually end up sounding like a Honda.

Not much you can do about that dude...it's a 1.8L motor.

Actually, my friend's 318ti with custom exhaust and Magnaflow sounds amazing...but he also has a 2.1L Metric Mechanic M44 ;)

Exactly. Probably the only aspect of the M42 I dislike is how it ordinarily sounds with aftermarket exhaust.

For the most part, yes...

Mine doesn't sound all that bad though....two videos for reference!



Another one right after it was put on....

Sounds great, thanks. Definitely picking one up in a week or so!

Scorpion update please! My OEM muffler is SHOT, I'm considering the Scorpion from BavAuto. I've read about a couple of fitment issues, have the remedied this yet?

Sounds clips!!!!

Overall, I'd recommend the Scorpion exhaust. Look and sound is excellent, and it looks like it will last a while, but it took a few readjustments to get it to fit right. It's a tight fit, so it took some readjustments where it hooks up to the cat to get the muffler to not be pressing against part of the unibody(which caused rattling). Also, I think the muffler strap/hanger design sucks. Other than that it's good, for $400 I don't think it'd be worth spending more on something else.





As for a soundclip, forward in this video until they show the grey touring. That car has a Scorpion exhaust.

Couldn't agree more.

I love my Scorpion, and when I get some headers, it'll really sound mean!
