I can send you to the right dyno and you can make over 400WHP, it's just a number!
hey I kist installed cat back supersprint exhaust not too long ago. now im concerned about suspension cuz slips sometimes on the corner. I just ordered new tires first to see. rears were kinda bald. well I would like to hear some advice about suspension upgrades.

AST4100 coilovers are great option for suspension.

You have an impressive list of add-ons but I didn't see upgraded rear sub frame bushings. Either the polyurethane or M3 bushings will eliminate the wiggle you get when going to full power. M3's are stiffer, the polyur- gives a smoother ride.

I'm telling you just run e85. Cobb has a map that you can download to your accessport for a 30% mix of e85 fuel and 70% 91+ octane gasoline. I've run it a few times and it's great. The car loves it and runes even smoother. Try that map out first with the mix, then see how you like it. I'm just finishing up my 93 octane protune now with PTF, then I'm gonna get the e85 tune to run about 40% e85. It'll definitely put you over your 400whp mark. Just make sure you can get e85 around you before you get your hopes up. I have all the same mods as you do, so don't worry about it.

Also:

Stock fuel tank is 16.2 gallons. Just put 4.86 gallons into the tank of e85 and fill the rest up with 93 octane. Then switch the map over to the e30 map (it means 30% of e85) and you're good to go.

Manual have less drone than Auto. It's pretty loud but still sounds good. YouTube '335i muffler delete' and I'm sure you'll find plenty of videos. Or, try to find someone local with it to see if you like it first.

Still have secondary cats on mine. I couldn't imagine the setup without it. I heard of people replacing them with resonators though.

Try these steps to making your car louder.
1. Look up and try the 'golf tee mod' (sound sound good with your dps)
Make it deeper...
2. Replace stock muffler with your favorite manufacture's muffler.
Louder...
3. Delete your secondary cats or replace with resonators
Sounds mean and louder
4. Aftermarket Exhaust
That's loud
5. Delete mufflers
DAMN DATS LOUD!!!
6. Remove secondary cats and mufflers

Your best bet is looking up sound clips on YouTube, here, finding someone with an exhaust you like locally, or being ballsy and take it to a local exhaust shop to try something.

It's good, I have no complaints. However, after being in a protuned car, that's definitely my next step after I get my fuel pump installed.

Ye that's right, i'm thinking about protune aswell
Do 6sp manual have some benefits over 6at when you delete secondary cats?
I mean in terms of rasp and drone???
Cause if you recomend to delete muffler just in case i am 6sp manual,that's makes me thinking we've got the same story with secondary cats?

Way to contradict yourself there guy. You need a flash tune for proper fueling.
