E92 M3 - Borla or Milltek?

[FastRich]

Hi All,

I'm in the process of buying an E92 M3 and am very tempted to buy a louder can for it. Not to be the biggest chav on the block, just because it's so quiet.

Has anyone had any experience with the Borla S-Type (mid level) or Atak (loud level)? Any thoughts? Same with the Milltek system please!

Many thanks,

Richard

I've had the Miltek and it's nice but not great, for me the best I had was the Tubi Rumore exhaust I don't think they are made anymore but if you can get one second hand then I'd really recommend it.

Here's a clip of mine running the Milltek exhaust, sounds good IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOVHLqTccj4 excuse the wind noise from the GoPro though.

Currently back to stock as looking at trading in for something more family, hopefully an F10 M5.

If interested in buying my Milltek PM me as its only sitting in my garage gathering dust at the mo.

I have the M performance and really like it, was not looking for an interview the face loud sound and also wanted something that would not drone too much on motorways.

The mpe has a lovely exotic sound not much louder at idle but a throaty sound as it revs. it also looks great only downside is minimal performance gains And it's not a cheap mod. Otherwise think it should have been the standard m3 exhaust given the quality of engine.

Is it much louder on an open throttle?

When I had my E90 I looked at various exhaust options, but ultimately I didn't want to mess up the warranty

I ended up doing the OEM exhaust mod, £120 at a local exhaust fabricators. where they dropped the rear silencer, cut it open, removed two perforated pipes inside the silencer, then replaced them with normal solid pipes.

The results were awesome, no drone at speed, noise when you wanted it and no increased noise at idle (except on cold start)

Best money I have ever spent on ANY car ever

Changing the exhaust will not mess up your warranty. Of course a non OEM part will not be covered but everything else will.

OP - do some research on the restrictive front cats and performance x-pipes. You may change your mind.

I have an evolve system on m y E90 and it's. Absolutely sublime...

[PinkFatBunny]

As mentioned above - the exhaust mod is the best money you can spend on an E9x M3.
For the sake of £120 try it first then if you don't like it get a new system.

Eisenmann Race is nice, although there is a bit of drone at about 1,800 rpm - not somewhere the car spends much time though.

Evolve primary cat delete x-pipe is particularly worthwhile as well.
