Best exhaust for G42 230i

GG42 · 11-04-2024, 07:57 PM

I got this exhaust for my 230 after a lot of research, its by DCE parts, they also go by PSR parts. The exhaust is valved and has no mid-pipe resonators/mufflers. i think it sounds pretty good. In total with the carbon tips included it was about $3k.

Looks good, but I'm pretty sure it would be improved if you move the tips in about an inch, which it looks like there is room to do.

Tips are not supposed to be far out like that and it's usually a telltale sign of poor exhaust fitment. If you like it then go for it, but usually the tips are further in.

Tips too far in can result in the dreaded drone.
