hi bmw320i. join the Y connector 320i club. we can talk about more extensive exhaust mods after the 3yr warranty expires/. the prev e46 318i had single pipes and the E46 320i had dual pipes.

The issue is for the inlet size, those tips are made for pipe of max (63 mm) 2.5 inches, and i still don't know the size of the pipe on the 320d e90.

It would be very nice is someone with a 320d or 320i could measure the pipe max diameter (before it becomes an oval) on their car.

Did you mean 96 = 3in?

hi bmw320i/ would advice that u check and choose the exhaust tip at the shop with the technician. e46 single pipe-318i has a small round pipe, unlike e90 320i- larger oval pipe.

Hi,

Thank you for your replies!
I was able to measure the size of the exhaust pipe on the 320d. At the very end it is 56 * 96 mm and few centimeters before the end it becomes a bit more like a circle so a tip that accept 63mm exhaust should fit

So I think I will go for a Y connector to have a 2*70mm exhaust.

for the conversion from milimeters to inches this make (http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconverter/ ) :
56 mm = 2.2in
96 mm = 3.77in
63 mm = 2.48in
70 mm = 2.75in
76 mm = 3in

The e-tech exhaust tip look good and might fit the 320d exhaust if it is cut long enough, I might go for this one as well. Thanks ajji for the link!
If you do this change before me please post a picture of it.

I think in any case that when putting a Y connector the end of the pipe need to be cut so the diameter of the exhaust will not be that big. The exhaust tip form ajji post is 250 mm ( 9.85in) so this means that at least 6in need to be cut from the pipe.
