320D Performance Exhaust

Hope · 08-20-2014, 06:45 AM

Hi all!

I had the 320D performance exhaust fitted yesterday.

What do you all think?

It feels great past 2500rpm and is much lighter than the old one!! Definite noticeable difference in performance.

BoondogUK · 08-20-2014, 07:36 AM

nice... how much for the part and how much for fitting?

swiddrington · 08-20-2014, 09:40 AM

Looks Great! Where did you order it from and what was the price?

Hope · 08-21-2014, 02:41 PM

Thanks chaps!

Not sure if it should stick out more, what do you all think??

I ordered it from BMW, cost about £50 to fit at a specialist garage.

Looks wise it's a huge improvement over the oval tip. Reminds me I need to do something with mine!

BoondogUK · 08-21-2014, 04:03 PM

Looks about right... I am about to do a similar thing with mine

bmwspeed01 · 08-21-2014, 05:28 PM

It looks great! Do they make one for the E91?

cypis007 · 08-22-2014, 06:45 AM

More pics from behind?
What is part No?

achu · 08-22-2014, 07:12 AM

looks really good... proper improvement!

Pacman83 · 08-22-2014, 07:45 AM

Price?

richk84 · 08-22-2014, 07:53 AM

Where did you get it from? I was going to get mine from here.

http://www.individual-cars.com/xshop...ng.html/page/2

399 eurso is about £320

Have bought all my oem parts from here so know they are good.

UltimateDream · 09-02-2014, 03:55 PM

Hi OP,

I am really tempted to get one, but wondering if there are actually any improvements other than the visual look?

How's the sound and performance? Was it worth the price tag?

Mattfox89 · 09-02-2014, 03:59 PM

Looks great much better than the original!

Why didn't BMW make this as standard rather than the oval tip on the 2litre models

Pacman83 · 09-03-2014, 08:54 AM

Got this Cobra rear section fitted last week. BMW wanted £80 to supply and fit the chrome tip for my original

This was £190 from GNJ Motorsport in Lancashire.

Sounds completely OEM, which is exactly what I wanted and looks great. The service from the guys there was excellent

Needs another polish now

Ajs_435d · 09-03-2014, 10:18 AM

Looks better, Performance is a placebo really, you can run diesels without a box as they don't need them really I don't even think they are a twin loop either.

Exactly. I watched them do it. Very quick and straightforward. As I mentioned before, there is absolutely no difference in sound, just what I wanted, and great service from them too

borinous · 09-16-2014, 10:33 AM

Thanks Pacman. No fussed on sound changes just the downward pointing current exhaust looks rubbish so looking into replacement options.

Hi I'm new and have come to the forum to research exhausts

I just recently bought a new 320d e93 and in getting all carried away in buying a new car didn't realise how much I do not like the single oval exhaust, not to mention it is now stained.

I asked BMW about twin tips as I see they sell them for the 325 but they explained they do not fit on the 320 back box as it is completely different so they suggested the £550 performance exhaust and for me who just wants the cosmetic look I thought that was a bit too much of an expense.

Pacman really like the look of the cobra exhaust do you have a zoomed out shot of your car so I can see what it looks like. Also do you know if this would fit a E93?
