318is rear silencer

Sun Jan 09, 2011 12:51 pm

Hey guys,
Just been out and had a check over my car for MOT time and my rear silencer has developed a hole, the rest of the exhaust is fine. Any ideas for a good place to look for a replacement? any recommended companys?

As in the back box has a hole.

I think that the website leisureshack sells reasonably cheap bosal exhausts. Alternatively, you could try a jetex rear silencer.

Cheers for the help so far, any other ideas? scorpion back-boxes seem popular but no longer available. eurgh. its hard to get an exhaust for a 318is

I bought a 318is Scorpion stainless rear half incl back box that I won't be using if you are interested? Used but looks decent.

Supersprint do them also

I tried to buy a supersprint system, but was told that they are NLA.

I think you may be able to get a new rear silencer from BMW. Won't be cheap though...

You have PM! thanks for the advice guys, bmw is an option but they want £244!

Supersprint doesnt seem to be available anymore. The jetex one is £190, they any good though? i know jetex are popular on mk2 golfs so i assume they are ok.

I have the Jetex setup.

It's a mild-steel half-system, so it includes the center silencer as well IIRC for the price you quoted. You might want to paint it if you go that route. No problem with the metalwork but their paint was questionable. Standard tip (actual tip, not just a finisher tack-welded or bolted on) is a big round item - clearly not factory, but not "council" either.

It's just the standard diameter and basically sounds pretty much like the BMW system, i.e. pretty deep and a bit loud compared to most modern cars, but not boy racer in any way.

Basically it's perfectly sound (no pun intended), just give it some high temp paint (or whatever you prefer) before you fit it.
