Does anybody have or know of a AE exhaust install DIY thread or instructions? I am installing it on my e92 335i xdrive so I would like to get instructions from a car as similar as possible. It doesn't seem like the install should be too bad but I just want to make sure I am not overlooking something important or something like that.

Also, If anyone has tackled an exhaust install themselves and would like to share some tips/tricks I would greatly appreciate it.

Check under the car for German lugs/screws like a 12 points socket or external torque bolts

I don't know if it is needed for this job but these car use fasteners which are not common to the US such as XZN Triple Square Spline Bit Socket, eternal torque, torque bolts, metric, etc.

I would perform a quick visual to make sure I had the correct tools before I started

For some tools although 335i is not one of the models covered, I expect similar tools would be needed

Thank you for those links, it seems as though I should have the tools necessary since it seems as though most of them are only sockets

i read a post of a guy changing his PE for a stock exhaust and he posted to the forum a picture of a strange looking fastener which happen to be a external torque bolt. That link I sent from pelican parts list an E10 as one of the tools for the other 3 series models. Good luck

I have never heard of one of those, and I definetly dont have an e10 so I'm hoping it won't be needed for my install, otherwise I might need to take a run to harbor freight or something.
