Which Exhaust?

I would like to hear from the users of the Vanguard and AE cat back exhaust for the 335i coupe.I think the hardest decisions are wheels and exhausts.Stock dp,s please.

They are both good products (Albeit the Vanguard is pretty new but stellar reviews)

I really think at this point it's what does your ear fancy? Some obvious sound differences...

You have a coupe, so the BMW Performance Exhaust it's cheap enough to be worth considering...

+1 love the bmw performance exhaust. its a axle back for the E92 but its about 1k or a bit over i think. but i think worth it.

My second choice at the moment for the price/quality/sound is def the vanguard!!! But i have heard nothing but great news on the AE, depends on what you like, the design is a bit different and the price.

You would not be disappointed with the AE. I don't know about Vangaurd, but I also tried Britalman. AE is something I will keep on the car for good.

I would get the full DP back exhaust that elimiates the second set of cats. One of the main benefits from a DP back exhaust is the weight savings of 24-26 lbs. The stock system has a few areas of crushed pipe that just don't make sense at all.

Vanguard FTW!!! I heard it over the weekend and it sounds wicked!!! No droning at all. Nice deep tone, not obnoxious at all.

GL!
