Where to go in Auckland for aftermarket Exhausts (2009 135i)?

[fatjoez 3]

Heya

Can anyone recommend a workshop which imports / fits aftermarket brand exhausts for newish BMW's?

Looking to get a new midpipe fitted for my 2009 135i..

At this stage I'm trying to source an OEM midpipe though my fallback plan is an aftermarket midpipe which retains Cats + that box thing whatever it is (resonator?)

I'm on the North Shore

Any recommendations appreciated.

FYI: the oem midpipe I'm after

Mate has NZ highest spec 135i with all these goodies fitted, sounds the muts nuts and is top quality. Has not been dyno tested though.

Hmmm bro I'm not 100% sure on this but I frequent a 1series forum and last I read,

BMW's performance accessories don't replace the second cat/midpipe..

Again, I wouldn't quote myself, but I think thats the case.

BMW Parts guy in the Newmarket auckland dealership said the whole set'd come out quite expensive.

So tryina source an aftermarket one..

Could you perhaps ask your mate if his midpipe was replaced?

I'd be keen to buy the stock one for sure

He does not know and doesn't care, he just said its part of the 15kw upgrade kit.

Why do you want to replace your mid-pipe anyway, it's the least restrictive part of the system? Or is yours damaged??

Heya

Yeah I checked out the BMW NZ link you gave me and that 15kw gain is from engine,

as per my guess they don't do any change to the midpipe,

and yeah you're right the midpipe is pretty much the least restrictive part of the whole exhaust.

The previous owner of my car cut out the second cats & resonator in the midpipe,

and replaced the gaps with straight pipe.

So [thats why] I'm looking for an oem used/new midpipe to put in!
