Himi, love it!

Can you send me details of the defuser? Guess they fitted it for you?

And importantly... can you upload a video of the sound, idle + with some revs... please?

p.s. Sorry your aerial's broken, though.
Haha Thankyou :thumbsup:

I know, I know, it's terrible but as you can see it's slowly growing back.
:rofl:

Nice one.

Sorry mate it's been a mad day at work... I've only got one question? Why haven't you gone and already done this? It's been nearly 24hrs!

I'll get the part numbers you need (I've just realised there's a rear valance bit that I've not even fitted yet as I'm taking it in to get painted)

I'll try n get some vids ASAP too!

Diffuser is 51122158797 for the top part and 51122158799 for the bottom part.

There's two types of diffuser. The 35i have a dual exit cut but the 35is has flared cuts. The part number above is for the flared ends, like I have.

Off topic - but I still have a downpipe for an N20 - more sound and reducing pressure = more power

However, it is an MOT failure

Himi - nice job! Looks great.

Who was the exhaust fabricator? - a recommendation from a satisfied customer, always helps for those who are considering going down a similar path.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I’ve heard bad things about them.

Apparently they’re welding skills are very poor and a lot of customers have had to go back or taken their car elsewhere within a year of exhaust work from them.

Because of this very reason I opted for StyleDynamics to work on my E46 M3 backbox.

Yeah I know about their reputation and have seen some examples of there work previously online, but I know them from being in the motor trade and had a relationship before hand with them. Couldn't fault their work or approach on this one
