If you really want exhaust feedback (louder) I would recommend a Stromung or UUC Corsa.
The intake really shines - you don't get the loud guttural noise like a lot of the open element kits, just a sweet note when you get into the rev's.
I was lucky enough to get my Performance exhaust and intake on a super clearance sale (more than 60% off) which made it an easy choice.

thanks MJ. i will be installing the BMW Performance exhaust since 'just a touch louder' is perfect for me. this is my perfect DD/track car and we'll also use it for longer family trips, so i don't want anything loud. plus i do love the look. 
i definitely am more into induction noise, and have an aFe that i like the sound of, but not the fitment of. might try the injen intake - it looks just like the aFe but with better fitment.
