why do e30 exhausts suck?

[Kwaaahhh]

Eisenmann (apparently) with no load on it:

The tips stick out a lot. Bad install?

[blunttech]

i have a tri flow on my daily and it sounds great. its not too loud for me

[Jand3rson]

I like the way the Magnaflows sound, I just wish they weren't so loud. I'm in the process of attempting to modify a MCS exhaust to work in-line with the magnaflow, so we'll se how that goes...

I have a Magnaflow on my car, I don't think it's that loud at all, I really like it.

That was awful holy shit.

stock for me. the 318is has some magnaflow that Mr Blunt himself dicked before sending it to me. The 325is is stock, Borla, and sounds great.

i like to have a dead quiet car, since im no longer in HS and dont have to show up hondas on the streets

what about supersprint?

I'm weird in that i like quiet exhausts for daily driving

[SR20Fastback]

the eisenmann is ringing in at $1237.69 before tax/shipping/installation FML its more than the e36 version haha

I have Scorpion Exhaust and i like the way it sounds. Deep and not too loud.

Well, I've got a magnaflow on an M42 fwiw. The sound really is as good as it gets for the $$ on this motor, but I like a more stockish volume exhaust.

Have any pics/soundclips of your set-up? Which Magnaflow muffler did you use?

I just have a Maganflow 14815 muffler on my iX. I couldn't justify spending a couple hundred dollars on an exhaust when I wasn't really going to see alot of gains out of it.
I've gotten alot of compliments too from it. "Euro-sounding" and "loud" are what I usually get. Kinda funny that the sound is coming from an American made part.
I'm happy with it, totally worth the $150 or whatever it was.

any sound clips? I'm peicing together a new exhaust and am considering a magnaflow. the tips on the 14815 are pretty nice looking too. ;)
