When it begins to empty your wallet from repair costs, you will forget all about eliminating luxury exhaust notes.

Easiest option is the M Performance exhaust. There are plenty of aftermarket options as well.

Vibrant 10632 oval muffler is a direct replacement for the 35i rear muffler and a fraction of the cost of MPE.

If you just want loud then do a muffler delete. Won’t sound as good or refined but it’s the cheapest way to go.

Or put a downpipe on.

I’ve had the vibrant on my car for over two years and can confidently say it was louder. Go on YouTube.

Muffler deletes sound like shit on N55s and all cars for that matter imo, but that’s your prerogative if all you want is loud for cheap.

That is a great price, remember that’s just for the muffler. You still need the exhaust tip finishers too it doesn’t come with them

If someone steals your cats, your car sound will rival those Nascar race cars. Happened to my old E53 X5 V8 and I woke up the entire city when I fired her up before knowing the cats were missing .
