550whp — do I really need a full exhaust? Or are dps and 335is muffler good enough?

Or you go to someone that has a big-ass CNC mandrel bending system, and get rid of a bunch of weld or sleeve points.

Nobody likes a showoff 🙄

Can I get me one though 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha ... when the car got towed back from their shop and I saw the exhaust I pissed you didn't drive it upside down. A work of art.

It wasn't even particularly expensive. Under $2k behind the down pipes to the tail, with a pair of high flow 49-state cats. That was design, fab, install.

They'll make one for you!

Not as bad as open downpipe or a muffler delete lol but its a little worse than the atm 3.5 jn exhaust and probably on the same level as the vrsf race

What about the Z4 35i exhaust? There is a ridiculous thinning on the right side of the exhaust after the catalysts. I ordered myself a FOX x-pipe to replace that thin part. I wonder if that has an effect on power. Random image from the web.View attachment 62698
Hello have you got your system fitted? Thinking of getting the whole cat back system..

Not yet. Too cold in my garage -18C to do anything. Maybe later in the winter. Which silencers did you intend to install? I have to decide for myself which mufflers to install. A terribly loud muffler cannot be installed to get through a Finnish car inspection.

I was planning to go with the Fox silencers with their rolled / slash cut tips
