Quick video of the new exhaust

  • 4 weeks later...

Good choice. The tuning potential is crazy for these. I made the mistake of looking after I bought my M3 and its so much easier and cheaper to get these quick. More understated as well.

Have you kept the original cat? Any remapping on the cards?

The car has 4 cats as standard! One in each downpipe and then one in each midpipe.

I've still got the cats in the dp's but the new exhaust negates the centre cats :-)

Took it round the raf marham charity trackday at the weekend, will get up some footage once I've sorted through it all.

I saw over 160mph down the straight!

I finally got around to sorting the cheap wheel refurb by the previous owner, i decided to go diy as i dont like paying for someone to do something i can do for £18 (Paint cost).

I decided on matte grey as its easy to apply, hard wearign and looks clean when its not. I think they came out pretty good :-) While i was there i gave the calipers a good clean and painted the hubs with matte black barbeque paint (Will happily take brake heat), small things make the car look so much better in my opinion.

I thought id try some paint correction products out on my parents 6n2 as the paint is pretty dire, plenty of swirls, deep scratches and generally faded. I've only done the wing so far as i was trying out stuff, so will finish the whole car after I've popped out the dent in the door. I never knew the blue looked so nice! (Is it indigo blue?)
