Vishnu vs BMW performance

JRubin13 · 06-07-2011, 06:47 PM

Hey everyone. Going to choose an exhaust system to buy soon, and im deciding between a BMW performance exhaust and a full vishnu catback exhaust system. Could someone please provide some insight-as to which they think is better in terms of cost both are around 1500 dollars new, sounds, performance, reliability etc. Thankyou.

YouTube for sound.

As for performance I don't know the numbers offhand. But im willing to bet Vishnu has better numbers because you will be catless vs having the secondary stock cats with the BMW performance since it's only a section 3.

My vote is for the bmw performance exhaust. Probably because I just got mine installed yesterday. Not sure about the performance, but it sure does sound good. I know for a fact that my gas mileage has gone down and I can't keep my foot off the gas. I swapped the tips for the stock ones though. I think you should go with vishnu if you want performance as it's a catback vs axle back.

exhaust wont void the warranty will it?

The BMW PE won't. Any exhaust shouldn't but that all depends on the dealer you go to.

Ive looked on youtube for a good video of bmw performance exhaust, and there really arnt that many. You want to be a champ and post one when you have time?

and i dont really mind the performance gains. its more for sound, i dont want it to be obnoxiously loud.....so i cant really decide between the two and youtube dosnt really do either exhaust system justice.
