I want to put an aftermarket exhaust on my new BMW 2008 M3 convertible coupe. What kind will give it a deeper sound and make it sound mean?
Congrats on your E93, that’s a mean car you’ve got there.
Currently the only E93 exhaust I know of is the Active Autowerke system. It’ll run you about $2,700 for the whole system, plus assuming you want the software to let it run at it’s full potential it can be more. It’ll provide somewhere around +15hp more than stock, it weighs 12lbs less than the stock exhaust, and it gives it that beautiful Active Autowerke sound. It will probably void your warranty, though. I’d wait a few months for the price to go down and more options to come out, though.

i just put an aftermarket exhaust on 2000 bmw 323i and i just wanted to know if tht would hurt the engine in anyway or if it would hurt the car in any ways as in mechanically or physically i just dont wanna damage the car by just putting an aftermarket exhaust
No but it might create too much heat for your neon lights! An exhaust will not break anything, just stick with a reputable brand. I knew the Remus, ACS, Scorpion etc. cost about 1000 dollars more than a fart can but theres a reason.

I already have the K&N Gen II CAI, and will soon purchase the shark injector. Just wondering what is the best HP for my buck.
Im guessing the best exhaust for a BMW would be to get a aftermarket exhaust from a BMW tuning company like Hamann, Dinan, AC Schnitzer, Active Autowerke, Alpina, Meistershaft, or Hartge. Maybe even go for brands that only specializes in exhausts like GReddy, Stillen, Flowmaster, Magnaflow, or Borla. If I was you, I’d go with a BMW tuning company from Germany.
