I have an E36 328i, and have had pipe fitted by the van der Linde boys. It cost me about R4800. I know one of our other members, edwich, has a E92 M3 with a van der Linde pipe on too, and he sounds well chuffed with it.

I am happy with my power gains, but not entirely happy with the sound. The car tends to drone a bit when driven sedately... :cursin: (not that that happens too often :sneaky: )

I believe RG's pipes are less noisy and pretty good, but pricey.

As for the AC's, try 15k for just the rear sliencer! :shocked: :dropjaw:

yeah rgm say it has a more refined note

wile vdl say they have a more loud n aggresive tone [which is what i am looking for]
woudnt want to refine an m3 after all

pricing n power gains very similar tho
around 10grand plus vat n power 5 to 10percent

Guys do silencers affect ones power, coz i heard the more silencers one has the less power you have??

Back pressure....put it this way...track cars have no silencers...just a straight pipe....and the shorter the better....

I see...so how many silencers should an e36 M3 generally have in order to produce optimum power?
