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
Does the dealer price include new exhaust pipe? If your system is "rotted," as you say you'll want to replace the whole system from the cats back.
I wouldn't go with stainless, as even an aluminized system will last 10 years and do you realistically expect to keep the car that much longer?
All of the aftermarket stuff will be louder. If you want stock sound and best price, order oem parts from megaparts.com and get a decent muffler shop to install it with new pipe. there is nothing exotic or special about the exhaust that requires a bmw specialist.
