Pretty sure the motorsport ones are just a different tip in effect. I'm not sure that much would be gained in performance from an exhaust? The one on our 525i is HUGE and non of it seems terribly restrictive, although I have no facts or info to back that up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1072 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 What exhaust have you got? Ours is just the standard one. Anyone know if the Jap ones have the same exhaust as Euros? I know some of the other models didn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 338 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 I've got an aftermarket exhaust set up in my E39 Msport 530i currently. It's unfortunately time for the car to move on so I'm reinstalling the factory set-up. I'd be interested in selling it if you're interested. You can hear it first if you want. PM me if you're interested. The 3l straight six gets a fantastic engine note when it's not muffled by the two massive boxes that come factory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 The M54 often has Cat-in-header design with pre and post Cat sensors. Complicates the issue somewhat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamex316 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 Does that mean more modifications to the steel work is needed to get the car working right then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 Not sure what you're getting at with 'steel work', but it means you need to find out how others have gone about adding headers and what they did to avoid CELs and stuff. But first you need to find out if you have them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
