Looking at Upgrading Exhaust and Intake on my 2014 F30. Is it worth it?

mikepisko · 01-10-2014, 11:09 PM

Hey guys I just got my 2014 F30 335xi MSport and I am loving it. I have been looking into replace the stock exhaust and intake. Has anyone used the aFe Power Pro 5R intake or the Eisenmann Performance Race Exhaust System.

The total price for both shipped would be around 2600 bucks which isn't to cheap for an intake an axel back exhaust.

The Eisenmann Race exhaust sounds pretty sick from the youtube vids I have watched but I am concerned it would be to loud for a daily driver.

Also was looking to purchase both from either europeanautosource.com or **********s.com. Has anyone purchased from either site? Any recommendations on which site is better?

Buy the PPK for cheaper than that and get actual gains.

Should of just went M ppk + M performance exhaust before even picking up the car like what I did. Got them both installed with original warranty for $1,100. Exhaust is not loud at all but you know it's there and perfect for daily driver.

I'd pass on the PPK and get the JB4 downpipe and full exhaust. JB4 + Challenge DP + Challenge exhaust cost me about 2600. If you want an intake that's cool but it would be on the end of my mod list.

Skip the intake, get aftermarket exhaust, and wait for more tunes to hit the market.

Check out the Borla Type-S, Full cat back exhaust. Perfect for DD. Almost half the cost of an Eisenmann Race exhaust. Sounds amazing.

SKIP all of that and do a Vargas turbo, full build with forged internals.

Oh WAIT, do you want to keep your warranty...?

Yea I would want to keep the warranty.

I actually found the Eisenmann - Performance Race Exhaust System on here used for 1550 and just installed it this past weekend. I must say it is a huge upgrade from the stock exhaust.

I am most likely going to pass on the intake and just drop in a K&N filter.
