My 92 735i has 144,000 miles on it with original exhaust system, about 35,000 miles past due for being replaced, it's rotted out internally and rattles & vibrates alot.

New options I've consisdered:

1. OEM (Einspaecher?) $229/335 res/muf, dealer w/bmwcca disc
2. Supersprint s.s. 414/459 " " BMP catalog
3. unknown brand 150/180 " " " " "
(does anyone know who makes it?)
4. Bosal ? /359 " Allbmw, etc.
5. Ansa
6. Tri-flo s.s.

Anyone have experience with these or other brands? I would like quiet of stock but could live with a little louder as long as no vibration felt inside cabin. I value quiet over performance as a deciding factor. Stainless is intriguing, not to ever have to replace it again so would be worth extra cost up front, however one could replace several sets of non-stainless for about the same money.

BMW parts manager says catalytic converters on the big 6 don't need replacing very often from his experience, so will likely leave it alone.

Anyone know of better price sources?

Thanks in advance,
gale
