35i / Is exhaust tip upgrade / replacement - job done

Post by mr wilks » Wed Sep 20, 2017 7:18 pm

This should be of interest to many 35i 35Is owners if like myself you look at the rear outlets with a sense of deflation & disappointment :o i know when i first started studying the whole 89 range a few years back i was always underwhelmed with the stock offerings for the flagship models :( no complaints on the tone though :evil:
So just 12 days into my twin turbo ownership the situation was addressed :oops:
The guy i used has recently set up on his own after 22 yrs working in the custom exhaust industry , couldn't fault him on any level & would happily recommend him ( he also does centre box deletes ( 4 cyl 89s only ) along with decat pipes & full custom build exhaust systems . I simply had the oe tips cut off & larger more purposeful ends welded on .
Based in Darwen Lancs works 6 days a week , cost was just £90 all in :wink: :thumbsup:

Those with the smallest cock have to shout the loudest.....

Us superior 35is owners rest easy safe in the knowledge that the silver air intake bars on the front bumper, silver mirror caps, and little arches over the exhaust are subtle enough touches to quietly lord it over the minions...... :wink:

On the contrary an extra 30bhp as standard should be ample to to shrug off you less important models of the marque.... :poke: :fuelfire:

Although more involving and lighter, the manual is slower. I think you'd need an extra 50bhp in a manual to keep up with a DCT through the gears.
