New Custom Exhaust

[mdc]

Just had them installed today!

had a friend fabricator customize me one (he does most of our vintage cars and he does a great job at it ) so no problem trying him out for the bimmer

so off he went . . . my only concern was the sound it would make. i definitely didn't want it to sound like the typical exhaust note from the modified japanese counterparts (no offense meant) - euro exhausts just sound so different

after installation, really happy! there's that subtle bass sound at idle and at revs, the sound's actually close to supersprint - nothing like the real thing but close

what i wanted was to avoid the exhaust from overpowering the sound of the intake . . . and in this case, all went well with what was planned. the aftermarket intake and exhaust = harmony! hehehe! so to speak

here are the pics . . . off course, tip has to be euro

Looks good! Do you feel any more "performance"?

[mdc]

umm . . . do you mean did i feel an improvement in performance? if thats the question, a slight improvement in acceleration response - can't expect much since its a 316i - but love the driving feel

the air filter and exhaust combo just sound so sweet - just like in the video

if i will get more performance parts, a strut bar! hehehe

everything else goes to interior and looks :) i just love a that department! with lots of gadgets . . . hehehe

I thought your car was a 328i? I could have sworn before you either said or posted it was? Either way the exhaust sounds nice and your car looks awesome.

hahaha! i would never do that :) i could have sworn myself i never said it were a 328 - that's one of my hates (saying something that it's not - in general)

thanks though! appreciate it :)

It may not be a 328 but it looks a hell of a lot better than mine does! :thumbup:
