Hi ive just got hold of a standard 1989 318is and been trying to find some info on performance exhausts is there any point to removing the cat as cant find a de cat pipe or any full systems. is standard as good as it gets?

thanks

I've got a Powerflow stainless rear system that needs a tail pipe welding on. Just want it out the way. Had it on my track car but it sounded good on the car, nothing too loud.

Where you located?

im in spain so prob a bomb to post but got fam in Berkshire, is there much of a difference in power as all i can find are rear pipe sections and back box or is it just for sound?

aslo any advice on worth wile mods would be great

thanks

You are not going to gain anything by modifying the exhaust designed by BMW. Are you sure the car has a cat?

i have in berkshire a stainless tubular manifold and decat center section of exhaust for 318is never been driven at all mate pm me if you want

I know it's in the UK, but Fritz Bits down here in the SW do an uprated full stainless system for the 318iS for £400. They claim upto +15HP, so i guess these systems exist. I've not tried it, just noticed they did one when ordering some parts the other day!
