You will have to get one made... i had one made fot my 318iS, single oval pipe, cost me Ԛ£190. Made by powerflow...

You will have to cut the rear valence on the iS to accept twin pipes...

Scorpion have a catback DTM system. Ԛ£350

Don't for fcuk sake have a massive bore exhaust as it will kill your acceleration (if you choose Powerflow) - mine was naff and generally got caught on every speed bump from the 60/40 drop.

my powerflow uses the standard size pipework, and the quietest back box that would fit... drives like it did before!

The metal valence behind the Mtech kit will need cutting....

Sorry mate, what I meant was that I bought a full system, with a 2.5" bore, losing any pressure and lost acceleration - didnt want anyone else to suffer the same fate! :)
