    Well it doesn't sound very BMW...

    I'd rock just a catback... Your mostly just move the torque curve right which means it comes on later.

    Put it back to stock, obd2 midsection(this adds power on all OBD1 BMW 3 Series) and pick a catback. If your not on track and keeping it over 4K almost all the time your just making noise.

    Go ahead and say it, lolol.

    It's funny how a lot of people agree with my observation, man. It wasn't meant to hurt your feelings. I, along with others, was just giving our opinions. Isn't that why you posted it? Just as Dinan stated, it sounds like straight pipes. Just like Civic folks do. Just honesty, man. If you can't handle it, don't post. Later, QD.

    If you say so. But rest assured that I can guarantee that if we got 100 people blindfolded on the side of a street and you drove by like in the video, at least 95% would say Honda. The other 5% would say it sounds like a Honda but probably isn't because it's a trick question.

    How do you really know? It's funny because I was actually going to post a thread on this subject a while back and forgot. When people tell you (to your face) that it sounds/looks good, how do you know they're being honest? Some people don't want to cause a rift so they just say it looks good. I see it all the time.

    Again, it's good that you're in a fighting spirit to defend your car. It's yours. So do what you want to please you. And stop getting hurt by naysayers. Later, QD.
