Where is the best place for E46 330d exhaust + remap?

[MiniMrMan]

As i say I have a 330d touring that i am wondering where is the best place to get a full stainless exhaust including decat pipes and a remap?
What make of exhaust would people recomend?

How far are you prepared to travel and how much do you want to spend? I would have a chat with the guys at Evolve, based in Luton re tuning or DMS Automotive. For exhausts Milltec, Einenmann, AC Schnitzer, CA Automotive or go custom with MIJ Performance.

Go to E-maps for the remap (google it and you will find him), he seems to specialize in BM's, well recommended on BMWland forum, he did mine and it was about £300 from memory.

Seconded for Emaps - had my 330d done last month.

How will the standard clutch hold up? any experiences?
Its an '03 204bhp model.

Clutch no problem, apparently the auto gearbox stands up better to the additional horses/torques than the manual but not heard of any bad experiences.
