325i middle exhaust which one

[markus_74]

Hello,

I found 2 type of middle exhaust for 325i non cat.

Which one should I choose?

Also what make different between good brand boysen, ebenspaecher to cheaper brand? I found cheap brand but use same quality aluminum steel made by Krupp thyesen, so I think it will give same life time before rusty? Or what make different between cheap and boysen? Design or sound? Or just brand?

exhaust number 2 looks to be better than the first-looks similar to original exhausts anyway.

arn't krupps a well known and respected heavy-industry steel producer going back to w.w.2 at least?

I still confuse if the second has catalytic? And the first without catalytic?

[biffer]

i think both exhausts do not have catalysts.

Does the first one is for 323i and second is for 325i?

And does the sound between boysen and eberspaecher is same?

[biffer]

first one-don't know i'm afraid.

second one does look like a 325 one.

the sound of the 2 exhausts should be similar.

I've got the second one on my cabby - no cat - seriously solid.

I guess you checked what your car has: down-pipes, then center box with long pipes at tail end, then back box with short pipes both ends?

Sorry, my car is converted from m40 so I don't know the original exhaust.

Also does rear back exhaust between catalyst and no cat is same? Or different?
