320d Exhaust Upgrade - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Dan320 · 03-22-2010, 11:39 PM

Could someone please advise me on an exhaust/muffler upgrade to my 320d available in Sydney. I am not sure if it's even worth doing, will it improve the sound and/or performance of a diesel motor. I've only seen Remus muffler listed for my car wondering if there's any other option.

What r u after? Performance / Sound / Visual appearance?

Dan320 · 03-23-2010, 12:07 AM

All of above, if there's not performance or sound gain then I'll just change the muffler tips

Give Lambros a call at HiTech in East Sydney. He has done a lot of 335's and 135's so can probably do some thing for an oil burner.

Is that just a tip ed-320?

What year is ur E90? I would personally go with supersprint or Remus if u want DPF back system.

If u want cheaper option, either just get a new tip or get a muffler delete. There r a few ppl who has done muffler delete in other forum and said the sound isnt very loud at all. Performance gain is hardly noticeable i think coz u cant really feel the extra few horse most times.

Mine is a 2007 model, one of the first ones. I personally want to get a Remus and would love to hear from someone who had done this. I'd really hate to find out after spending over $1300, all I got out of it is a new tip.

I can supply you an Eisenmann rear muffler as an alternative.

I did alot of research on remus and supersprint before i decided to go with custom roue for my X5 few month back. I have read mix feedback regarding the quality of the remus system. Supersprint and Eisenman are the best in the market with out a doubt and everyone seems very happy with them. If u decide to go with remus, choice the powersound range as it will give u more performance gain. A few ppl seems to believe the basic one are more for appearance and sound.

If u want to go supersprint, ask mike at Best exhaust. Nice bloke.

Or Andrew for Eisenman system.

Dan, did you replace your muffler and if so how does it sound?
I have just bought a new 320d M Sport and hate the exhaust tip, looking at ordering a Eisenmann Duel Tip Muffler and have a choice of sound, either sport or racing not sure what to order as I live in Thailand and if to loud will get stopped by the cop's, if to quiet might as well just replace the tips...

I ended up only replacing the tip as I couldn't find replacing the rear muffler for a diesel produce the sound I liked, it's nothing like a petrol engine with an exhaust.

Nice Looking car Dan. Those tips just finish it off too. I need to do something with mine

very nice! where did you get the twin exhaust tips? (if you dont mind me asking)

Dan320 · 07-10-2011, 11:46 PM

I got my exhaust tips done at www.fastechmufflers.com.au

cruvon · 07-11-2011, 12:10 AM

Doesn't the 320d have an option for a BMW performance exhaust like this one on my 320i that quite a few here have installed?

Jeef Beef · 07-11-2011, 02:02 AM

There really isn't any point in getting an exhaust for a diesel if you're looking for sound. It's still a diesel.

As for performance gains, you will need a supporting tune to take advantage of any freer flowing exhaust system.
