Looks really good. I like the idea with the exhaust tips :thumbs:

Btw, did the downpipes make a noticeable difference. I'm considering doing mine one of these fine days...

MSM - will see at the dyno what difference it makes. But I can feel the spool is quicker.

Dmonic - Plz don't put ideas in my head. Angel eyes for E90 are not cheap. But, yeah, I want them...

Besides spool up, it turns the car into a Fighter Jet, you will not want to 'mess' with this car after hearing it take off and on idke, you can hear there is a something/s waiting to be released when in motion. if people dare take this car one, after hearing its idle, i say they should have some really big balls and huge power to match, or else, they can go waster their fuel on smaller cars:thumbs:

Thanks for the compliments guys...

Had some dyno time this morning... 2 runs at WRC and im a happy chappy! 178kw and 571nm. Much lower than the reading from KAR but im happy as my figures are consistent.

Heres a quick breakdown.
Stock - 143kw 463nm
Xcede Stage 1 - 171kw 566nm
Xcede Stage 1 + 76mm Downpipe - 178kw 571nm

Xcede (Software) is best bang for buck if as it has the best gains.

I managed to get some better pics:

Sexy ride Mr_Arbee.... looks good with the 335i dummies!
Will you upload the graph as well?

Also would be interesting to learn about the different readings from KAR and WRC :idea:

Thanks Rolf...

Yeah, i will post up the graph this time.

WRT to WRC vs KAR readings, most GP guys go to KAR so they can compare between themselves. I prefer WRC as its closer and well, i have dyno'd thrice at WRC and once at KAR with the 330d. So, my preference to WRC wins here. I guess if i first dyno'd at KAR i would have kept to it.

Also, KAR has re-calibrated there dyno recently due to a HDD failure. Yet, WRC is still the same.

Oh, one more point, my tuner is well known at WRC. Ask MSM!!! LOL

Thx... very smooth graph.....

Yet what stings right into my eyes is that WRC also sets the dyno for Petrol and not Diesel!
This influences the results.... :cry:

If it makes you feel better, all there results are set on that same setting. I had this chat with them a couple of times! Wipe those tears of your eyes... :rollsmile:

My calculations in relation to boost and graph as submitted to Mr_Arbee yesterday : 200kw / 660Nm which is excellent for what is done to the car!
