I've had autos , DSGs & manuals & I don't doubt that for a minute , I just like to hit john right where it hurts the gearbox

The DCT gearbox certainly hurts financially when you have to get it repairedmr wilks wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2017 9:54 amI've had autos , DSGs & manuals & I don't doubt that for a minute , I just like to hit john right where it hurts the gearbox

That looks good, a few questions.mr wilks wrote: ↑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 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
So just 12 days into my twin turbo ownership the situation was addressed
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
Did the tips have to be cut / welded or did they slip off?
Are the new tips bigger, if so by how much?
Do they affect the noise at all?
Thanks

Tips are bigger at 85mm
No affect on noise at all , sounds exactly as it did before they were changed
