    Default Triflo exhaust for 93 525i?

    Has anyone out there installed a Triflo exhaust on their 525i?
    I've heard that it makes this car too loud. Any feedback would be great.

    i have the Triflo on my '91 M5. it is LOUD. However, i like it. Download it has a 'throaty rumble' but uphigh it maintains that memorable BMW 'whine'. However, if you're worried about it being loud, perhaps a supersprint?

    Default I have one on my 1992 535i...

    ...and I love it. My wife thinks it is a little loud in the city but not on the highway. But at least she says that she knows when I am coming home at night since she can hear me. It is definitely louder that stock but not unbearable-just a low rumble in my opinion.

    I had a triflo for 2 months and had to sell it for half what I paid for it. The drone from 1500 to 2500 was giving me headaches. I certainly would not recomend one.

    I had one on a 92 325i and it sounded pretty good. It was pretty loud but not unbearable. Around 1800rpm pretty deep!

    I love my tri-flow.
    Really makes the car roar... Nothing much on the performance side. The car is loud up to 2000RPm then it is quiet... People are even telling me that my car is too quiet at the track.

    Love it dearly. But some people find it too loud.
