Thanks, yours was the car i was thinking of when i mentioned it in my post.

Looks great,bet your still well pleased with the result.

yeh im well happy with it!!

How Far Can You Go

hi shadrack,really like the pipes are they plumbed in or false want the same for mine but looks like a lot of pipe bending and welding also if piped in does the back get really filthy anyway think look ace.

there not plumbed in, i couldnt be bothered to clean the rear that often, tere welded to the rear of the stock silencers however its a 9/10 diy difficulty took me bout 3 hours cutting and measuring, and same again i very arkward welding, its very hard to get them simetrical as the boxes you weld to are not flat or simetrical well worth it though and by my quotes i was £240 to the good for doing it myself!

that looks great!!!!

They look sweet

Dubs

They do look good mate

Ok the deal is done, the 5 is booked in Monday for 4 hours of surgery for the exhaust mod, just like Shadracks lovely beast but fully plumbed in with the stupid stock silencers removed.

I have 3 sound choices which is novel (differing silencers), quiet, mild sport or sport. I will go for quiet as its a diesel and i purely want the rear to look as it should rather than sound like "Corsa Boy".

My insurance company say's no premium change, the exhaust company says greater power and more MPG, how good is that !!!
I reckon with the fuel saving in about 28 years i will break even

I completely removed the exhaust on my E90 325d and had straight pipes from the turbo back. It wasn't loud in any way, it was eerily quiet but sounded like a jet turbine on full throttle !

Where are you getting the exhausts done as I am only down in Bristol and want to get mine done it would be good to hear yours before I have mine done.
I tow a caravan so dont want anything too loud or you get a drone with the van on the back.

Wow your a lucky chap, near Bristol in Thornbury !!!

Hi shadrack like the pipes would have liked them on mine but i have a schnitzer body kit fitted,so it would not be easy to cut out the holes for the pipes,
so that will be a no starter this time, so will have to think of something else to do

Hi pvw how did the exhaust fitting go have you got any pics you can post I am looking to get mine booked in ASAP so would be interested to know if you are happy with yours.
Btw what size tail pipes did you go for?

Hi Stew ?,
all went very well 3.5 hours and done, very good job they did to.
Pictures enclosed showing before and after with an "up the skirt job to show how it was done". When you rev the car and your stood behind it you would never believe its a diesal, sounds like a mini v8
Total cost was £294.00 ish, done by Longlife in Thornbury whom actualy built the silencers from scratch in front of me.
Cheers
Paul
