is there any way to make my PE louder? besides downpipes..

[Knobi]

I have the PE with AR Downpipe, it is LOUD AS HELL. I woudn't want it any louder. Now if you want it louder without a DP that's another thing but it misses the point of having the BMW PE. People get it for the nice tone, growl and gurgle, + it's OEM. If you want a loud exhaust without DP, the PE is not for you.

If your AWD take our the secondary cats, thats what i did and i love it, keep in mind that of you want to do downpipes in the future, do not take out the secondaries, it'll make it much louder and you'll get a bad smell in the cabin

Unplug the the plug in the trunk? It opens up the flap, but I'm not exactly sure on that

this.. but if you aren't awd than not sure what to tell you? get a muffler delete? but that would be louder and probably have a different tone.. might be raspy a little.. watch videos of muffer deletes on the n55

[waldo2014]

In Europe the Performance exhaust has a flap on the E9x, is it different then from the US version? Opening the flap permanently will increase the sound level, notably at lower speeds.

Muffler delete sounds good but i heard that theres a ton of drone around 2-3k rpm but ive never ridden in a vehicle with muffler delete, just heard of that

[mashimarho]

^ There is

I would say get a different exhaust. The BMW PE is not for you if you're not getting downpipes.
I think with the downpipes, it's the perfect exhaust set up for us.

agreed!! and yeah when i mentioned a muffler delete I forgot about the drone don't do it.. it's annoying after the first month. and yeah what mashimarho said go with a different setup or just get downpipes and have the best setup i have the pe and getting ar downpipes catless im xdrive with secondary cats

[JBird..]

Get the HPF exhaust and call it quits.

[evo335xi]

I agree, I don't think many n55's have the HPF exhaust. If it sounds amazing on the n54, I think it will sound just as good if not better on '11+

with catless ar downpipes, will you smell fumes inside the car? also, does it drone? i don't mind the car being louder but i do not want drone.

also, with downpipes do you have to do a tune?

I smell nothing in the car. Only in the garage. I don't mind the smell, I actually like it. It reminds me that I'm going faster and louder.

I have zero drone. It sounds amazing and is still subtle enough daily driving, if you want. I'm in the same boat and hate drone. I've had exhausts before that droned and this is the best one.

I have JB4 tune with BMS DP.

You can play with the default wastegate position setting on your JB4. A more open wastegate will give you more sound, but there will also be more lag.

Higher setting = more open or visa versa?

[JLGM4]

ok, im really considering some AR catless DP's. However, I've still got a lot of warranty left. anyone wanna chime in and tell me how you guys work around the BMW dealership?

Can you post a sound clip??

[aren93]

I've had a muffler delete for like 5 months now and I still love it but it's not loud enough for me anymore. I can't wait till my VRSF Catless Downpipes come in. Btw for me there's barely any drone. I have a few videos heres one you can hear how mine sounds. I know this doesn't really answer your question but maybe a future suggestion.
