Greg111 13 Report post Posted August 25, 2012 One of our sales cars had this, was very loud! Wasn't the best sounding either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted August 25, 2012 Yeah not surprised on what Greg Said. Any system with straight pipes at the rear end is going to sound harsh... You need a good muffler at the back of the car to give it a smooth, controlled sound with more depth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LawrenceCT 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 might sound like a stupid question but is it possible to put this sort of exhaust system onto a 330i? Dual exhaust? I thought it would be possible but obvioulsy having to change the bumper on the car to ensure it looks correct Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it would be possible but obvioulsy having to change the bumper on the car to ensure it looks correct Yep, have a look on e46fanatics.com for it. lots of people have done this before. Looks a bit strange because they mount the other one on the same area oppersite looks too far apart compared to m3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Pretty sure the M3 has a different pressing under the floor of the boot. There isn't room for this type of muffler, but you can fake it, which is probably why they look a little odd with the spacing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is correct, half the tyre well is gone on the m3 to allow for the muffler to fit high up and sideways across the back behind the bumper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Unneeded tyre well means more room for badass exhauset. You counld get the tyre well cut out but the ratio of M3 exhaust-money spent fitting it doesn't make sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanderm3 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2012 I am still thinking about changing the exhaust but not realy sure what to do. what are your ideas? (without spending a huge amount of money like some peaple do) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish 30 Report post Posted October 17, 2012 I am still thinking about changing the exhaust but not realy sure what to do. what are your ideas? (without spending a huge amount of money like some peaple do) I would go custom! There are a lot of shops in NZ that can make a quality, well-sounding exhaust for a very reasonable price. Plus you can ask them to do any type and any size exhaust for you as you are not fixed on manufacture's specifications... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish 30 Report post Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) How about this? I think this exhaust is much better than DriftMax or whatever it is... http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=524668074 Edited October 18, 2012 by swordfish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
