Well said Craig, f##ks me why people want to keep re-inventing the wheel...

Just seems to be a contingent that keep going "blah blah from such and such, says blah, so why would a dump pipe do anything?"

There's a crapload of evidence that says a dump pipe is seven shades of awesome; so why argue, just benefit from the research & investment of others. Never once seen a dump pipe on a factory car that couldn't be improved on.

sure thing!! at the rate we're going now i am going to make more than enough.. i am not sure we will do this again, so i will have some spares for a few latecomers, i've also noticed in the last 5 months a bit influx of volvo owners so we'll try cater for them too.

picking up flange today.. so we're getting closer to starting!

If it is anything like the beastly unit he made for me or the even larger (!!!!) dump pipe he put on his own M35, you will certainly notice quite a difference :P

He said its bigger its virtually a 3.5" from the mouth of the weird looking flange, to 3" connecting to the rest of the exhaust..

what do you think I should notice?

1. Definitely the response from the turbo. With little to no restriction on the exhaust side, it will come on boost harder and earlier.

2. More power throughout the rev range as well although it will be more noticeable in the low and mid revs.

Only down side (if you can call it that) is that you may have a little trouble with your turbo getting enough air from the intake... I know I did.

Maybe hit him up for a suction pipe as well while you are there on Saturday.

So, another week has passed. How is everything progressing? I know everyone's busy and it's only going to get busier as we get closer to Christmas.

Do you think an ETA of late this month is acheivable? (Can you tell I'm keen to get mine...? :) )

Cheers

Cheers Angus. I'll leave you with it for a while and keep an eye on this thread, or check in with you again in a few weeks.

BTW, that looks like an interesting project you've got going on in the pic.

      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.
