Stromung vs custom exhaust??
I am thinking about buying a full stromung exhaust, turbo to tail. The cost is 1500 or I could but an 034 down pipe for 500 and then buy a borla muffler for 150. Then have to pay for 3in pipe and then labor to have it all welded up. Any ideas? Anyone have a stromung that they like? I will like to have the opinions of all you guys. Thanks

Re: Stromung vs custom exhaust??
One thing I can say is the Stromung sounds great but no drone and not too loud---but louder/sportier than stock. For me, I want a car that looks sounds/stock (or close to) but is fast as hell. I don't want to advertise. I have enough people who want to race. I've had many exhausts over the years including ones that set off car alarms and I have to say that Stromung is the best of both worlds for my taste. I like the sound of straight pipes on a big V8 but I wouldn't want to live with them every day. Am I getting old?

Yes.
You *are* getting older.
But we didn't buy these cars to make a ton of noise and have a lot of cabin drone.
Long-legged, fast Autobahn cruisers are what we have here. If you want a loud-*** can-of-bumblebees car, get a G60 Corrado and slap on one of those pimpin' pipes. Can't freakin' hear the stereo, at any volume, at WOT.
(Ask me how I know.)
Having class and getting older aren't the same thing. Even for a BMW-lover like yourself.

I lean heavily towards Strömung. If the custom exhaust isn't mandrel bent, forget it
Maybe if you are running a 2.6l engine and a massive turbo, a custom mandrel bent 120mm exhaust could make more sense. Have a seperate wastegate dump too.
