E46 M52 Jap exhaust modds

[smiddy 76]

Had my exhaust flow increased by removing restrictive section post cats.

Modded useing 2 x 57mm tubes then into a 76mm merge collector.

Was fiddly job with sensor ports and removing exhaust from headers to weld.

Exhaust note is deeper but not louder. Not the neatest of welding but good design in a very tight space.

More power for sure after 4000 to red line, car was flat after 5000 before.

Your car is an auto right?

At what point does yours changeup like 6000rpm or 6500rpm

Thanks Jordy, yeah does sound nice deep and crisp but not loud.

Can't wait till re-mapp should cackle nicely.

I'm just wondering Wayne. Would you not have achieved more by going dual front to rear or are you going to try that later ?. Mine seems better going dual after having the 3" single

BTW: I must ring Gavin and sort out a remap too

I hear you Glenn, this would classify as the poor mans catback. Ha.

The cost of testing for a street car outways the potential gains. The section added is a vast flow improvement mod, at a modest cost.

Will visit soon.

Wayne.
