WTB: F25 N55 Exhaust

BOSSBMW · 07-27-2020, 08:31 AM

Looking for a performance exhaust/muffler for my X3

Good luck, very few options unless there are some interchangeable ones out there from other chassis. Some of the F30 axle back options look very close, like this one https://**********s.com/active-autow...-bmw-328i-f30/

I will be going with the Remus quad exhaust here soon.

I went the DIY route:

exhaust pipe cutter tool, what a genius idea

took about 15 mins for the first cut

30 ish mins later, its out

the new pipe is 12 inches, the oem resonator was 7 inch. So I measured an extra 2.5 inch on each side of the oem resonator for a total length of 12 inches and made the cuts

test fitting the new pipe out

bolted it down with butt joint exhaust clamps

Sound Clip

Clean job! I don't think the vid does the sound justice. Did you notice any difference? Or even in performance?

Quick and easy...Nice!

a job like that might hold up on the west coast, but not in the northeast with our mounds of snow and salt trucks. i basically will have to go stainless or watch it rot every few years.

either way, something will rot ... sooner or right?

ie, oem exhaust system = rot. after market system = rot. cheap joint clamps and cheap resonator = rot.
