powerbass 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2012 Hi all, Need to replace the exhaust on my E46 and was wondering if this would fit? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-487510230.htm or http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-486236975.htm And would I have any issues with sensors or error codes? Thank you in advance for everyones help! Dee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiddy 76 Report post Posted June 27, 2012 You will get the dredded BMW 6 mid range drone with these as they are generally to small and have poor internal packing. If your car is Jap import you will have the two into one setup where exhaust combines into one just post of cats. This area is very restrictive for gas flow. I removed this bottle neck and gained much mid range power. The 2.8 engine in stock form is quite limited for power gains as cams exhaust and inlet are all sized for torque. Should have no issues with sensors as you are not removing them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 612 Report post Posted June 27, 2012 As above, a mate had one on his carib, was quite droney and that was only a 1.6 4cyl. I'm running a twin pipe straight thru 2.5" with custom headers and a remus rear box and two sets of resinators. It's not too droney, sounds good and just under 92db. I'd try get a m3 exhaust setup or a miltek etc. Wouldn't bother with cheap crap cause that's what Itl sound like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smac01 12 Report post Posted June 27, 2012 Are you based in Auckland? I've got a remus quad tip exhaust on my E46 325i wagon at the moment, it sounds really good. I'm considering going back to a standard exhaust for several reasons, so send me a PM if you're interested. My understanding is it will fit sedans too.

Where can you get Remus in Aucland? Thanks Dee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smac01 12 Report post Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Not sure who stocks Remus now, but they're not cheap systems. I'd suggest replacing the exhaust with an OEM one if you don't want to spend much. Cheap ones, as everyone else says, sound horrible. Edited June 28, 2012 by brunch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreadful1 7 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 ^ I wish the S54 headers would just be a bolt on to a M54... but they will not fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
