bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted August 12, 2004 yes sticking with a good formula a 2000 540 Msport that I am currently trying to work out a new exhaust system for, any suggestions just do a custom exhaust, no point in getting an aftermarket exhaust system Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted August 12, 2004 (edited) just do a custom exhaust, no point in getting an aftermarket exhaust systemWhat the f**k?A properly tuned and designed exhaust will be infinitely better than a custom. Tuned for best torque and power where its needed, no unneccesary droning or resonance. I would go for a MST Weismann or a Schnitzer exhaust for the 4.4 Edited August 12, 2004 by CiLK WuRM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted August 12, 2004 ill agree with sam....for a 540 you would idealling want something brand name...what exhaust it got on now? often the stock BMW exhausts are very hard to be improved upon..and they sound badass too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted August 12, 2004 It's amazing just how much the entire exhaust system, from the manifold/extractors right through to the tips, has on engine performance. People have written books on this stuff, it's a bloody science I tell you and I know there's so many myths about what's good for a system such as bigger is better...ah no. Tuned systems are infinately better but it's a cost to benefit ratio that you have to weigh up. I'd go with Schnitzer or Hartge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30_318i 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2004 Is it grey/charcoal colour? I think i know the car, used to walk past it sometimes after school, and after seeing and hearing it, made E34s my fav bimmers If its the car I'm thinking of that is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuned for best torque and power where its needed, no unneccesary droning or resonance. I would go for a MST Weismann or a Schnitzer exhaust for the 4.4 Its pretty easy to tune the exhaust system even on older cars - don't know about you guys but they just ran a bit of computer software on mine. Need to know cam durations etc etc.. 6 bangers always drone a little - even on stock exhaust (which is also tuned) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted August 18, 2004 Glenn pwnage! Actually, having a tuned length turbo system is a near impossibility, as barely anyone has room for 4 or so ft of exhaust, pre turbo! Afte the turbo, its simply a case of the biggest you can fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
