35i / Is exhaust tip upgrade / replacement - job done

[mr wilks]

This should be of interest to many 35i 35Is owners if like myself you look at the rear outlets with a sense of deflation & disappointment i know when i first started studying the whole 89 range a few years back i was always underwhelmed with the stock offerings for the flagship models no complaints on the tone though :evil:
So just 12 days into my twin turbo ownership the situation was addressed
The guy i used has recently set up on his own after 22 yrs working in the custom exhaust industry , couldn't fault him on any level & would happily recommend him ( he also does centre box deletes ( 4 cyl 89s only ) along with decat pipes & full custom build exhaust systems . I simply had the oe tips cut off & larger more purposeful ends welded on .
Based in Darwen Lancs works 6 days a week , cost was just £90 all in :wink:

Those with the smallest cock have to shout the loudest.....

Us superior 35is owners rest easy safe in the knowledge that the silver air intake bars on the front bumper, silver mirror caps, and little arches over the exhaust are subtle enough touches to quietly lord it over the minions...... :wink:

First 2 are pointless when all that's seen is the tailpipes disappearing oke:

On the contrary an extra 30bhp as standard should be ample to to shrug off you less important models of the marque.... oke: :fuelfire:

Although more involving and lighter, the manual is slower. I think you'd need an extra 50bhp in a manual to keep up with a DCT through the gears.

I've had autos , DSGs & manuals & I don't doubt that for a minute , I just like to hit john right where it hurts the gearbox

The DCT gearbox certainly hurts financially when you have to get it repaired

This should be of interest to many 35i 35Is owners if like myself you look at the rear outlets with a sense of deflation & disappointment i know when i first started studying the whole 89 range a few years back i was always underwhelmed with the stock offerings for the flagship models no complaints on the tone though :evil:
So just 12 days into my twin turbo ownership the situation was addressed
The guy i used has recently set up on his own after 22 yrs working in the custom exhaust industry , couldn't fault him on any level & would happily recommend him ( he also does centre box deletes ( 4 cyl 89s only ) along with decat pipes & full custom build exhaust systems . I simply had the oe tips cut off & larger more purposeful ends welded on .
Based in Darwen Lancs works 6 days a week , cost was just £90 all in :wink:

That looks good, a few questions.

Did the tips have to be cut / welded or did they slip off?

Are the new tips bigger, if so by how much?

Do they affect the noise at all?

Thanks

Old tips cut off & new are welded on
Tips are bigger at 85mm
No affect on noise at all , sounds exactly as it did before they were changed
