Stock burbles

Kuskus · 09-08-2021, 05:05 AM

Probably a stupid question but the stock burbles from factory settings wont do any damage on the engine right?

COKen · 09-08-2021, 08:31 AM

Right!

Always better to ask than to just ignore it and worry.

If you're ignoring it, why are you worrying?

How many times have you ignored doing something, but it was still nagging at you to get it done?

figured it wouldnt do any harm! Since why would BMW even put it in the first place

thanks for the response! Just changed the stock mufflers with a small custom free flowing stainless steel mufflers to give some noise to the car

yep it does! Just not used to the burbles being too loud than stock so i guess its something to get used to

Kuskus · 09-09-2021, 11:16 PM

Sound clip! Got it fabricated from a local shop here. Just a temporary exhaust before I order an akrapovic system. (Unless the sound is already good) Used the oem valve actuator on the new pipes. TIG welded stainless steel pipes. Hope those are good enough to be connected to the stock midpipes.

COKen · 09-10-2021, 08:10 AM

I would be interested in hearing the Akrapovic if you end up putting it on.

Yeah but would be costly since this only cost me around 250. Just hope this sounds great

curious also on this one if the exhaust tips are sticking out too much. It aligns with the bumper tho. Sometimes in some angles I feel a bit conscious with it lol

COKen · 09-11-2021, 07:17 AM

Looks good to me.

Thank you! Only an axleback so i didn't remove the OPF. I basically changed the stock mufflers with two free flowing ones. Surprisingly minimal to no drone at all. Custom fabricated TIG welded. I used black carbon fiber m tips for it.

TAZ007 · 09-11-2021, 11:22 AM

Tips look good and flow nicely with the car.

Thanks! I guess it would be considered sticking out too much if its way way longer than the rear bumper

I certainly wouldn't mind getting something like this done if it makes the burbles a little louder. As you can imagine, the 30i's burles aren't quite as loud. They are there, just not AS loud.
