318i Exhaust

Post Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:36 pm

Hi,

I've got a 1990 318i and the old factory exhaust has finally given way.
Well from the centre back any way.

I want to replace it with something more in stainless reigion but don't really want to change it to something chavy.
You know lots of bark but no bite.

Any suggestions on where I should be looking or what my options are?

Cheers,

jetex do one but only if you have a catalyser equipped car, failing that get one made by an exhaust specialist but make sure you have 2 good boxes not just one or it will sound like a chav mobile.

Jetex is the only option really if its a 318is if it is a 318i m40 engine there is a few options .

Sport ex and jetex is mild steel for example
For stainless maybe scorpion or mongoose ?

It's just the 318i,

I couldn't find anything from scorpion, just stuff for the 6 pot engines.

I'll try mongoose though,

If any one's interested,

easiest option was buying a stainless system from Powerflow exhausts.

Cost me £450 for a front pipe back, cat delete.

Wow! That sounds a lot, how many silencers is it coming with?

I bought a 318is powerflow 2 nd hand off here, heard a you tube vid of it before I bought it and it didn't seem too bad.

That was with one silencer in the middle plus the backbox.

1 Silencer + Back box,
It is brand new, and I'm just having the place build and fit it.

There are more IS options available but essentially nothing for the standard 1.8,
Which is why I posted on here, but it seemed I'd already got as far as everyone else
