OEM M2 exhaust on N20. Any thoughts?
I would like to change my stock exhaust.
My thoughts were between Eisenmann or Active Autowerke. But I just found OEM M2 exhaust and I wonder will it fit or not and what will be the sound on 4 cylinders of N20? Any thoughts/recommendations? |

I don't think there is a quad diffuser for the 228i. So you will need to make a custom one. With that said, many people switch to the dual tips on the 235i quite easily as the rear diffuser on the 235i fits the 228i. I'm not sure how the M2 exhaust would sound, I'm sure you could find something comparable in sound that is already designed for the 228i and would bolt right in place without modifications. But you won't have quad tips. The 235i has dual singles and looks good. I'm not a big fan of quad tips anyway, I personally think the dual singles on the 235i looks better than the M2. Probably something to do with them not being even with each other and me being OCD.

Did you end up doing this? I bought a m2 muffler and am going to do this tomorrow. I’m going to just cut my right side since it’s a non m sport bumper. I’m curious to how this will sound on my 230i

There is work to be done to fit it, but here is how it would look. There may even be some video's of how the M2 muffler sounds on N20.

No bro! I decided to buy Active Autowerke exhaust, looks good and I like the sound. Please, don't forget to share your experience here, interesting to see the result.

I have the M2 exhaust on my 228i
The hangers fit to the OEM mounting points no fabrication needed. The inlet to the M2 muffler dont line up exactly to the OEM 228i "midpipe" so you have to custom fabricate the connection. And you have to get a rear bumper with a quad diffuser. And it sounds great! It is louder than original but the sound is "well tuned" It has a nice deep tone under acc. with some "pops and burbles" when you go of the throttle. when crusing on the highway it is quiet as stock and no drone. Besides the M2 rear muffler my car is 100% stock |

Any sound video clip of revving? Your setup is just the muffler without the resonator right? Just to be sure. |
