Downpipe and Software recommendations

[SR20_Guy]

I'm sure these have been discussed a lot before, but in short, which are good downpipe and software options to go for on the n55? or 335 in general.

MP expires early next year and I'm thinking of getting a DP, AFE or K&N flat panel filter and JB4 / Excede or something. But there are off course so many options. This is my daily drive, so not looking for crazy power, but it definitely needs something....

down pipe speak to the guys at X-flow, JB4 is best for these cars.

TMSS is my choice they do 101mm diameter pipe

Don't forget CP Doc just to be on the safe side :coolShake:

TMSS DP and JB4

+1

You could also go with the Cobb Accessport v3 and TMSS DP

Planning to go this route but full exhaust.

I did a Powerflow Downpipe and full exhaust on my N55 135i. Best bang for buck IMHO @ R7500
On n55, it's JB4 or bust from my research

 

[German101]

I'll be doing the same as LFC. TMSS and COBB Accessport v3.

Go JB4, Cobb isn't good on the N55

TMSS for the DP. Depending what you want from your car you should consider a JB4 or a software tune.

JB4 FTW!!! Then add on a Downpipe and trust me its a different car after.... :grin:

You can email [email protected] for the JB4 bud.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Much appreciated. Will start contacting suppliers mentioned.

Any suspension upgrades? The car does not handle fantastic in my opinion. Used to drive a Nissan Z before and I feel bordeline unsafe around bends in this car... Can only imagine when it has more power. Maybe it's the runflats I dunno, but it jolts if you hit the smallest imperfection in the road on a bend. I would be keen to ditch the runflats and go for slightly bigger tyres like the E92 M3 maybe.

 

[KrS24]

Lose the run flats. There are a lot of better tyres our there. I personally use toyo's t1 sport. Never looked back. You could look at getting the M performance springs on your car or maybe a set or Eibach.

What performance gains for down pipe or jb4 ? And more or less what do each cost (ballpark) ? I've got N55 135i.

Is everything a bad idea until MP is over ?

if your MP is important to you, then don't risk it with mods, wait until MP runs out

 

[SR20_Guy]

Can I ask why the charge pipe is necessary? Does the JB4 tune blow the stock plastic one off?

I've had the plastic one break before and it was replaced under MP.

Also, what is the opinion on BMS Intake?
