Need your advice

Hi Guys,

I'm having a dilemma here. I'm supposed to get my BMW Peformance Exhaust for the 335xi installed tomorrow Friday (got it for $1538 Cdn installed plus tax) but I met my new BMW tuning shop today and dropped off the car for the KW coilovers install and he showed me the AR down pipes (DP) which will cost around $1140 installed + tax (4 hrs install). The DP will give me addn'l 90 HP and the exhaust around HP and a great sound. Which would you rather have? Or would you push for both if you can afford? I heard the DP would give you a better tone compared to stock so why change the exhaust? I'm thinking it's like a waist of money just for sound alone if I go for the exhaust. I listened to the exhaust personally and it sounds great and better than DINAN and other good exhaust out there.

Thanks for your opinion.

Wrong section. But AR DP's are the way to go....better gains and you still get sound. Thats a good price for installed DP's, should only net you 15-20 hp though (you typed 90

)

BMW Perf exhaust sounds great, but only do exhaust when you are completely done doing bolt ons as it will give you very little gains.
