Viper Exhausts

[Sankekur]

Seems like we got almost exactly the opposite service from the two places, weird.

 

[moranor@axis]

it does... must have been off days...

 

[Sankekur]

probably

 

[sclass]

Yeah Moranor I had the same experience as you did...maybe it was an off-day but first impressions last...

 

[Fordkoppie]

TnT is good, but Van der Linde is the best (unfortunately also the most expensive).
Their stuff looks OEM quality

I just got quoted R3200 for a m3 replica exhaust from power flow edenvale for my e36 and thats full stainless steel ,maybe give them a try .

 

[Raybimmer]

@Nikhil not a bad price -What size - 50 mm ?
Do not know if 50 or 57 mm is best though .

I assuming they will also be cutting the spare wheel well?

 

[moranor@axis]

50 is big enough... i only when 57 because i will need it for the SC...

 

[Nikhil]

They quoted on 50mm apparently its the best for a 325/328 with 57mm you will lose too much back pressure which isnt good for a n/a car

That's strange seeing that the M52s and M50s breath quite differently...or am I missing something?

 

[Nikhil]

Well the exhaust is an m3 replica and from what i know the m3 exhaust makes huge gains on a m52 and m50,unless im mistaken.

Iv heard the same but will they really replicate the orig M3 boxes? or make something that sounds the same?

 

[moranor@axis]

im not sure bmws are affected by too little back pressure... i definitely did not lose torque with my exhaust...

i would still go 50mm on an NA because it will be lighter and make less noise...

I have this exhaust on my 328i. Sounds beautiful. Replacing the branches is unecessary imo. Workmaship is great with these guys. I'm very happy with what these guys did.

also...power gains were quite noticable with the exhaust. I had the remap and m50 manifold before I did the exhaust. Not sure if they replicate the M3 boxes...Just phone them to find out.

 

[Nikhil]

@drop it i think they make it to the same spec in terms of boxes and sound

Thanx dude

I initially searched around for a decent M3 system but never found one that was in a good condition or priced right...if only i knew about this then

I had a dual 50mm cowley system done...noticeable improvement on power side but i feel its too loud

 

[Nikhil]

The prob with aftermarket exhausts is that guys assume you want your bmw to scream like a gholf 1. A deep low rumble suites the e36 best well thats my opinion anyway.@drop it, why dont you give powerflow a call and get them to quote you on just the boxes
