how to make better sound?

Is there any chance to change the "engine sound" of 04 TL?

I like the bmw330 Sound, which is so deep...

Has anyone here done that? THANX...

(PS: I apologize if there is any grammar mistakes...

I appreciate your understanding.) lol

CAI (new air intake) will make more noise but to make the exhaust sound deeper you would probably need to swap the mufflers.

I'm actually curious not about the engine, but about the exhaust. I have heard of people changing their mufflers or part of their exhaust for a deep bassy sound that isn't rice...

I really want to do that, I would recommend that man. The engine is easily changed with an intake, but the deep exhaust is plain sexy...if I could get the feel of the startup all the time in the car, damn...that would be plain sexy.

What are the sizes of the stock mufflers? Are they straight-through or baffled?
