Not true, OEM exhausts from xi and i are interchangeable and a select few aftermarket exhaust but when I first got my car I bought a used Manzo cat back from my buddy with 335i rwd and the second bend in the exhaust from the DP flange was hitting the Transfer Case so I couldn't use it. OEM your fine, anything else id double check.

I used a 335d muffler on mine for a while. Baffles are much shorter and its a good deal louder. I think it sounds like the M exhaust. Also it was essentially free just took the exhaust off of a wrecked car.

If I'm modifying one I'll probably wind up getting an hks. Sigh why can't things be easy for an xi.

I just bought a corsa catback. Plan to install this weekend. The few YouTube sound clips of this system combined with downpipes sold me as I already have VRSF downpipes. They also make an axle back system that is a bit cheaper.

to be honest you should check out bmw PE. I think it's a great sounding exhaust and fit's all models if you're just getting the muffler. and if you're lucky you can find it here for around 600-700$

I've had a Remus exhaust (axle back only) on my 2010 335xi for about a year now. It sounds pretty terrific. I'm in the process of swapping to a HPF full cat back. I'll check back in and let you know how it goes...

Jeff, sorry if this is a dumb question but does that mean there is no true TBE (minus DPs since I have those already) for the 335xi? A piece/part of the OEM exhaust always remains?

The current VRSF Exhaust is for "RWD ONLY" however a shop can modify it for $150 or less and it would then be a full Xi exhaust also. From what I recall, a pipe needs to be cut and extended to fit the Xi which is an easy task for any exhaust shop. All in with the VRSF Exhaust your under $1000 to fit on an Xi. Last I heard the VRSF Exhaust will be back in stock late May or early June. |
