Bastuck or AE Performance Exhaust?

Bizout77 · 05-11-2011, 09:39 PM

I am looking at getting the Bastuck Exhaust with Quad tips or the AE Performance Exhaust, Both with new mid pipes. Which do you think is better and who is the best Vendor on E90post to get it from with the best deal?

AE. Bastuck is sec.3 when AE is full dp back system. And they built car for Paul Walker. If that matters

Own AE and driven a Bastuck. AE is hands down the best n54 exhaust.

I really love my Bastuck quad, zero drone with good sound~~~! The down side is it really hard to find a diffuser to fit the quad if you got the M kit!

Bastuck has an exotic sound IMO. Kinda Tubi like.

i love my bastuck it was the first mod i did 2 years ago. Get from julius at wheelsto. He the man

scooby9 · 05-14-2011, 08:29 PM

Bastuck definitely has a nice note to it.

if you go with Bastuck you will probably want to do a secondary cat delete or get catless mid pipes. just the muffler was too quite for me...with catless mid pipes it sounds even better. i havent looked into changing out the stock x-pipe though

If he has the catted version you will notice a change, it becomes deeper.

Really? I always felt like my exhausts changed quite a bit in the first few weeks... and I don't necessarily mean in terms of loudness, but also tone...

Eisenmann ONLY lol the rest is waste of money imo

Really? $2600 for some mufflers is not a waste of money? Unless you are talking about the knockoff version, I think you need to go back to the drawing board on that one.

I'm pretty sure my AE full DP back will gain more power than your mufflers with stock pipes.

TiAg335i · 05-17-2011, 02:56 PM

it gets quieter after break in in my experience. the insides get dirty and muffle the sound

The mufflers are packed with fiberglass and other non-metal materials that breaks in with time and usually makes the sound louder
