Tri Flow Exhaust

[CYD325E]

Has anyone heard anything about the TriFlow Exhaust system??? Is it worth the extra buck?

Give me a link and i'll take a look at it. But usually if it's a company youv'e heard of and have done some reaserach on it, it's probably woth the $$$. If your really interested just do a lot of reaserch. Most things like that are kinda like this: the more you spend, the better it is.

If you are talking about the B&B Triflow, they are an awesome cat-back system. They're extremely expensive though. You won't see much (if any) performance gains over what Supersprint/Remus/Stromung already offer. The B&B Triflow gets it's reputation from it's distinct sound. Out of every muffler I have heard on e30s, it has the deepest rumble and most powerful sound at wide-open throttle.

Remus and Stromungs are better buys and equally as good in quality and are about $200 cheaper. Any thought's on what you could do with that extra $200? You could do all of your interior accessories (i.e. pedals/shift knob...etc) for under 200.

Just my $0.02

Theres the Tri-Flo exhaust system from Bavarian Autosport. Its on sale right now for $643.45 or about that. Most of the exhaust system seem to go for around same price range. Thats about all i know about this right now so I too would have to do some further research.

What about the Ansa free flow? its cheap but is it any good? i could imagine tons of things i could do with $400 cash saved.

I think the tri-flow has the best sound and is of very high quality.

You can get an exhaust that may give a little more of a power boost, but for normally aspirated street cars like a 325i, an exhaust is more of a cosmetic addition than a performance one.

I bought the tri-flow for the sound and the appearance. If I had money to burn, I would buy one and stick it on the wall of my garage or basement as a piece of art.

$643 is a very good price for that exhaust. Mine is rock solid, with stainless steel welds in addition to construction, unlike some others.

i had an ansa that came on my car when i bought it. i tore it off and gave it to my son when i did my motor swap. if you live in a dry climate and are on a budget i guess its ok. i would not buy another tho. id rather go and have a custom cat back fabbed with an aftermarket muffler. the sound and quality did not impress me. if youre a student or just on a tight budget its an option

Ireland Engineering has a nice stainless steel catback muffler for $390. Stock blot-on and an easy DIY. This is a fairly new item for them and is still at the 'introductory' price. I saw it in their shop and it looked sweet.
