What is Best aftermarket Exhaust?!? - United Bimmer Community

**BlkMagiks** · 08-11-2006, 02:17 PM

I recently found out that i have a HUGE hole in my stock muffler

not sure whether to be made or happy b/c now i finally have an excuse to go aftermarket

But this also brings up a problem. Im leaning towards the UUC U exhaust because everyone seems to rave about it, but does anyone feel there is a better brand to go with??

Oh ya also, where could i go to order these systems?

Thanks a bunch for the help!

ive always like Eisenmann, however i have never heard it in person

www.eisenhaus.com

EDIT: if you go to the products page, and select a product for a car, they have videos of a lot of cars w/their exhausts

without any experience, i would go with remus because they have "tune-able" exhaust notes.

**BlkMagiks** · 08-11-2006, 04:42 PM

Ok ive narrowed it to either a UUC or a Stromung, since im a new owner i havent had any experience with either of these products, i could use some educated expertice on the matter

Those vids sound pretty sweet. And $800.00 shipped isnt a bad deal.....

You should check out active autowerke exhaust---its sounds amazing when you're punching it, but the only downside is that it is a little loud sometimes when you dont want it to be (2am

) even at low rpms.

Remus

from what I have heard, stromung does a great job of sounding just a little deeper than stock when idling and at low RPM, but when you punch it, it roars.

I have the UUC TSE, and I love it, but I think it might be a little too loud for some.

I've heard many good things about UUC, Remus, Stromung, Supersprint, and active autowerke. I suggest looking on ebay. there's plenty options there, you just have to find them!

If you are thinking of spending $800, you might as well wait and fork out anther $200 for a better exaust set up.

I have the stromung, and I am happy with it. got it from understeer.com

it was my first experience with an aftermarket exhaust though, so I dont know if it is the best.

Sorry I know that on the older cars like e30s that the Dinan exhaust is basically a de-baffled stock unit with a Dinan tip, IMO its not worth the extra cash for that. I don't know if thats the case with a lot of their products or not but its not the route I would probably go.

P.s. I almost had one which would have gotten me to my 10 points, so I like the Dinan products but I have trouble justifying thier exhuast when there are better alternatives.

i have the same exhaust as spielhur. i love the uuc TSE. however, it is not in production anymore. The system U is very loud from what people on here have said. Rooz had the RSC36 from UUC, which replaced the Twin silencer exhaust. UUC makes the lightest systems which is another reason why i bought it.
