I have the COBB v2 and a PTF tune with nothing but 94 octane. Makes the car a total beast.

Here is a picture with the wheel on and caliper done as well as my plastidip'd badges. Car is dirty but you get the idea. Whole key with calipers is the prep. I used a dremel as well as a pneumatic right angle sander with a small cookie disk to sand down the casting seams and smooth out the caliper. Another tip is to take of the rattle clips and prep them separately and spray them with a different color. Was going to do red but am very happy I chose silver. They look like they were factory sprayed.

So who has done catless dps on stock exhaust, and who can attest to the sound?

Not sure where you got the $400 price from. The tune is $249 if done back and forth through e-mail. If you happen to be close to one of their two locations you can meet with someone and have it done. That's an extra $100.00. If you want to do it with a dyno that's a separate amount. With any of the options you'll need your own COBB AccessPort. You can find all this info HERE

Yes I was quite careless. Good thing it peels right off.

I wish they made an e90 335is. With an lsd, would be the ultimate non m3 e90.

I put some VRSF dps on mine. It sounds amazing. Not much louder than stock under 3500/4000 rpm but when you nail it, sweet jesus it sounds effen great!

I just installed VRSF dp's today on my is. I can't attest to the power yet because the car is still on jack stands, but I cranked it up this evening, and with the jb4 and bms intakes, it sounds MEAN. It's deeper and throatier with a well defined whine of the turbos.

How is the drone with stock mufflers?

I had an '07 335i with AR catless dp's/stock mufflers prior to my is and it had mild drone at highway speeds and a little rasp at higher rpm's in the lower gears. I never had any complaints.

Although, I imagine the is muffler will produce slightly more drone and be raspier in the same rpm band. If so, a pair of variant resonators should help, at least with the rasp. The drone, you either love it or hate it. We'll see how loud it is.

I can provide better feedback this weekend once all the work is complete.

one of the BEST non M bimmers that BMW has ever made!

[Patronus86]

Can anyone with a FBO+tune give me an answer on this. Do you have to change out your exhaust to accommodate the increased hp/tq and exhaust flow? Or is the stock performance exhaust good enough? I'm not referring to the down pipes, diverter valves, ect. but everything behind that.

Two more Vancouver 335is I've yet to run into. I wonder how many we got. I have a rough estimate of 15, but there must be a lot more.

I'm in Kamloops and there was at least two more 335is here, one white and the other black, both verts. Mine was the vert on the left before I did my upgrades and window tints, I purchased that car new in Kelowna but it is gone now, I traded it for a special order frozen black M3 vert at The BMW store in October.

When I gave it to them for trade it sold in two or three weeks, quick sale for a vert in October and I believe it was bought by a local Vancouver guy.
