Hi,

I have a 318is and the exhaust is on its last legs, its blowing and is a bit of a state! Was hoping to get a full sports exhaust system, just looking for advise on the best one to get, and how much, if any, power gains there will be? Thanks for your help!

Happy to be proven otherwise, but I think you'll find that, barring back boxes, there is very little available.

TBH the most economical and performance based choice is to replace with a standard replacement system. There is little around for exhausts apart from custom ones which dont really add power and often can cause you to lose power.

You can get expensive good performance but I never kept the links or info when this has come up before.

Always be interested if anyone knows any different. Decided to keep mine standard apart from the back box which is a Sebring.

Fritz's have a system for the iS (I think) but I don't know anything about it myself.

Yer i knew they were hard to come by as i have been looking for ages, wouldnt want it to be too loud, but loud enough and a bit fruity. I was quoted about £300 for a custom built system from a place called Top Gear in St.Albans which do custom exhausts, dont know what to do!

You could try Fritz' Bitz. A mate was there the other day and apparently they do a stainless 318is system that is sweet.
