Another Exhaust Question?

Post by Marekdawg » Fri Nov 03, 2017 11:40 am

Newbie question... I was looking at ways to improve the sound out of my 30i Msport, now I haven't seen any exhaust flap people talk about and am unsure if many people have worked on the 30i back boxs'?

Anyone have any suggestions or areas I could explore? I am not unhappy with her current sound, but wouldn't mind something a bit more cheeky.. :evil:

No exhaust flap on N/A engines, only on turbo engines.

I too have a 3ltr, and would be interested in improving the exhaust note.
