I finally got it done last Sunday, and threw together a really quick clip. Excuse my dirty car. I'm pretty satisfied with it so far, this is stock downpipes.

I know people aren't going to like me for this, but most of these mods make the car sound like a 4cyl with a dynomax muffler. I had a 4cyl Neon, put a 20 dollar summit racing muffler on it and it made it sound much deeper then a raspy 4 with a muffler. I might be the first to put summit racing mufflers on a BMW unless someone already has. In which case can you post a clip of that? |

Did the mod on the front page, cut out perforated pipe and welded solid pipe and put 50/50 packing in both sides. Odd thing about my exhaust was that both sides had a canister and no packing whereas it's supposed to be canister on one side and perforated pipe on the other side. Definitely odd.

So I was looking around on here for a shop that could do this mod for me locally. I am in Brooklyn, NY. If any of you know anyone that does good work at a reasonable price, please PM me or let me know where on here. Thanks!!

is stainless steel pipe needed for the straight sections of pipe? or can i just use regular 2.5" exhaust tubing and spray it down with some high temp header paint?

No. If you stick with the guide and leave the 2 connecting perforated pipes alone it will sound like the PE exhaust. If you replace all 4 pipes with straight pipes it'll sound loud and you'll get annoying highway drone. Probably close to a muffler delete. Trust me on this I did both ways.

Hello all just about to get my exhaust put back in, I removed the packaging off the passenger side of the car and replaced both pipes. I had muffler delete before doing this and wanted to see how it'd be with the PE mod w/o the packaging. Currently only have jb4, dci, and the x-pipe in. I will hopefully be getting vrsf careless downpipes soon.

Found a place pretty close to me here in NW Las Vegas that does these pretty frequently, I'm only looking for a mild increase in exhaust sound so I'm thinkin straight pipe for the outer perforated pipe and leave maybe 50% insulation...
