Single Turbo Exhaust Setups
- Thread starter doublespaces
- Start date
Dual 3" out of both turbos to single 4", with one small race muffler. IMO best sounding N54 I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot of them...
i have berk street exhaust and on my taste, idle is a little bit too rough (GC turbos for sure flow more free than stockers on exhaust side so they too let more noise pass to exhaust than stockers) but on cruising speed, it sound nice, deep enough but not irritating loud and if accidently happend that i been challenged for a race, on full boost WOT, who fuck cares..
I got this the other day:
And I bought a DCT swap, so I guess I'll be able to show you guys something you may not have heard yet.

Work of art! too bad is under the car. How hard is it to do a DCT swap? I was thinking go that route or manual once my transmission gives out (crazy thing had zero issues at 25psi). I miss having a manual transmission.
VRSF exhaust heard is a great exhaust. Just how I like it the sound quite all the time except when you are on it deep sound. Might be my next buy.

The swap isn't too bad from what I have gathered. The harness is the only part that confuses me, I'll need to get everything in hand before I can make an assessment on that, and chances are I'll do a better guide on creating the harness. The other annoyance is the flywheel, particularly for people with an 8 bolt crank. Hopefully this flywheel by MFactory will solve those problems.
Honestly, I had no idea an N54 could sound so good. I'm in love with my setup, even on stock twins. VRSF cat lessdownpipes with Berk mids and Berk race (no muffler) axle back. Thought to capture in video but the car almost reminds me of an RB, bit of a crazy, exotic trumpet.
Ran catless downpipes to a full Cobb fatback which was a single 3", on my E90. Way more civil but sounded great at WOT. 135i sounds awesome pretty much all the time.

Might not "count" since it's an N55, but they are single turbo, so... Hands down the best I've ever heard is this car.
Yup, this car sounds great, particularly the DCT+ST combo. I like a little more clang to my exhaust note tho, the iPE is a great example, theres a couple different versions of it, ignore the excess burble:
