exhaust, branch and software done, now diff?

[Reese130]

so i had a dasteck uni q chip and a full tnt exhaust done. Quite happy with the results. car was showing 190kw on dyno originally, now showing 205kw.
car is pulling amazingly from low revs, no more restricted feel, which was the goal.. had a cheeky run with an S3 last night which made me but probably not the guy in the S3 smile,(although the driver was a gent)will post story in correct section in a few.. was looking to do a diff change but its proving to be difficult to source. doesnt seem like there is anyone who has done anything to a 130i that could compromise motorplan? anyone with any advice or info would be appreciated!?

 

[Reese130]

anyone pls? other ideas besides diff?

I know everyone shoots it down but what about a conservative shot of NOS?

MotorPlan then you to the Max but after That you can always source a pair off nice cams that should keep you happy!!! or take it out and put a 330d motor in LOL

Hehe, so you bit the bullet and did some mods hey?

Re: the exhaust, did you do a cat-back section only or did they make up some custom headers for you?

Post some pics up of the exhaust :thumb:

ya i decided it was time to do something. i did the custom branch and the exhaust. the branch adds an interesting sound to the exhaust, almost like a turbo sound, but the actual exhaust sound isnt much louder than the std exhaust. i was a little worried about that, but all turned out well. the tips are nicely done as well, a little bit bigger than the msport pipes.. i'll try post pics tomorrow.
@ kinnear. not sure if you can do cams on a 130?

I am wondering do you still have the stock tail pieces?

ya i do. i have the whole exhaust from the manifold in one piece i was thinking about putting it up for sale.

 

[Sankekur]

I would be interested in the tips, if you're planning on selling the stuff separately.

 

[Reese130]

i think im gonna put it for sale as a whole piece first. But if no ones keen i'll give you first option at separate pieces.

Thanks, I appreciate it :thumb:

congrats on the mods. The 130 is so under-rated.

I'm gonna start doing mods to mine when I get the car back, got no more motorplan.

They havnt started repairing her yet.

How much for the full system?

 

[Reese130]

The branch and exhaust in stainless steel were 5 grand, i did it through Tnt directly not a distributor so not to expensive.

Do a software upgrade!! Did mine on my previous 130, made a very nice difference.
