E46 aftermarket exhaust help?
Discussion
Hi all,
Currently I own an e46 320ci m sport. Very happy with it and all, great car. However I am desiring for the car to have a bit more of a presence, and as such want to change the exhaust out. The engine is an m54b22. Looking around I find very few exhausts that claim to fit my 320ci, and most of the ones that do show images and diagrams for a single pipe system, which mine is not being a 6 cylinder engine. From looking at bmw diagrams I am at a conclusion where I believe my exhaust system is the same as that on other 6 cylinder e46's such as the 330ci (part numbers seem to match), MINUS the backbox, as the larger engine cars have the butterfly valve in the backbox. So it stands to reason that potentially I could use an exhaust for a 330ci in my 320ci? Anyone have any experience on this and can advise? My other thought is to get a custom exhaust made as then I have the best chance of getting the exhaust sound I desire. If custom is the best route can anyone advise on reputable places in and around surrey/berkshire/hampshire.
Thanks
