Can i just swap to a different set of mufflers and get better (more) sound?

 

exhaust...definitely

Milltek or GMG or MTM are all awesome

check youtube for "V8 S4 MTM" or GMG or Milltek etc. and you'll find videos that show you the sound

cheers

 

Yes "V8 S4 MTM" is a bettrer option i have one and it is the best

 

Where's Clargy?

 

Ok has anyone just swapped out the mufflers?

 

My friend has a BMW 540 in 6 speed manual and went with a custom exhaust system from a performance shop.

I drove the vehicle and it is just a little louder than stock but not overly loud. Unless you really pay attention, you wouldn't even be able to notice that the car has an exhaust system.

This could be a solution for better sound... just remember to ask for mandrel bent piping for the center pipe section.

 

I was planning on swapping out mufflers aswell. after doing some research it would still cost about 4-5 hundred bucks for just mufflers and the install.

I would recommend spending a couple hun more on a used system at least this route you will get the performance gains plus the awesome sound of our v8s.
I found a good deal on a used milltek system.

 

Isn't there a way to keep the flapper on the mufflers open all the time instead? Anybody messed with them at all?

 

I did it before i replaced mine. all you have to do is disconnect the vaccum hose and plug the end. this will keep the flap open al the time resulting in a little deeper sound at low rpms. imho it will only leave you wanting more.
