I just bought an all in one split dump/frontpipe.

The all in one design allows the wastegate pipe to be much longer than the HKS style split dump and separate frontpipe combo.

This is supposed to reduce turbulence therefore improving the flow.

Some say that the all in one bellmouth type can make more power in the top end than either of the split types when running high boost but not everyone agrees with this.

Do a search and make up your own mind.

i was origianally going to go for a split style one... from marky at Exhaust technology (SA)

However he informed me that with the stock O2 sensor, they apparently have 3 prongs or somethin like that, and one of those sensors registers the heat expelled out of the turbo/wastegate.

now if your on full boost for a while (ie long hills thrash) then the air coming out of the wastegate pipe is much hotter than waht the O2 sensor (in the front pipe still) is reading.

Dont know exactly how this effects the computer etc of a stockish car..... but marky informed me to simply go for a bellmouth design.

yer the one in looking at is an all in one screamer and front pipe, so its like a normal front and dump all in one pipe but the seperate wastegate pipe doesnt join back into the exhaust. So what do you guys think ..

Hey im getting a split dump very soon, a stainless steel one that goes from turbo to front pipe.

How is the factory unit restrictive???they look very similar in the pic above apart from the SPLIT design, is it just its flow capabilities of the stock one???

And i assume youll see the same amount of gains from going front/dump combo, or just the dump pipe unit itself with an aftermarket front pipe???

is it a good idea to have the split dump heatwrapped first?and how much wrap will i need?

i was all in on getting one of the batmbl ones but after showing my friends they all say to get the greddy split dump and blitz front pipe because suposedly where the front and dump join has alot of stress and they crack easily there with the 2 in 1 designs,

and its actually happened on my mates s15 he had a 2 in 1 design and it cracked right where the dump and front would usally joing now he has the greddy & blitz combo!

around the same price as batmbls too

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
