Sudo 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2005 What kind of exhaust systems will give better performance? I always though RPS made good exhausts, but now I know they're all sound. Would Japanese performance systems(Tanabe, HKS, etc) suit a BMW performance wise? And who does performance systems? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2005 It depends on how you expect to drive and get power. Something driveable around town will not give you the best kW up top. e.g. Why people with M3's that don't thrash them like 330i's. One is a sports car, the other is an excellent all-rounder. Also do you mean the entire exhaust system or just a muffler? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danutt 4 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 there are back boxes called turbo flow boxes they provide good power gains too with a nice deep sound and really look nice with some chrome tipped pipes welded on.most beemas already have quite thick piping in their stock exhaust system so u shouldnt need to do a whole new exhaust and big boring these european cars degrades them they need to howl and growl not bark and drown the f**k out of you ears beemas are class treat em that way hope the info is useful maybe just ask a pitstop about a turbo back/turbo flow muffler theyl know wat to do peace :mosh: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the whole Pitstop and the like take a stab at the improvements. There are actually ways to calculate the pro's and con's of exhaust mods. The people who can design great exhaust systems will charge you suitably for their effort. i.e, there is no point in having a system optimised to 8000rpm if you never get beyond the 6500rpm limiter. A free flow system will give you more Hp and lower torque (lower down the rev range), if designed properly. Look at the Yamaha EXUP design philosphy for how an exhaust system should perform. You get what you pay for. Edited July 28, 2005 by cainchapman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
