Lightbulb What exhaust system can I put on my 328i M-Sport without leaving a trace?

What exhaust system can I put on my 328i M-Sport without leaving a trace the day I turn in the lease?

I would just have the exhaust removed and sell it... I hope it is possible to find such an exhaust system.

I just picked up my 328i M sport this past tuesday from performance center... you can install the M performance exhaust (or trim like I did) and return it at lease end with no problem.

These are official BMW accessories, therefor it's all right to return a leased car with them on. I asked many folks while I was down there and they all said its 100% ok.

But when it comes to a after-market accessories and exhausts, your milage may vary... depending on the dealer but you'll probably have to put stock back then.

I would not mind putting the M Performance exahust but I would like to have it back before lease end.

Do you think its possible to install Meisterschaft Cat-back GTC exahust and return the car back to stock after? Any welding or cuts that need to be done in order to install it?

Yes, they will need to cut and do a few things, but there is a clamp that just goes right back to put it to stock. Nothing to worry about, it's the same as putting the M Perf. exhaust, same clamp, same way.... Just put whatever you want on and enjoy.

If you going third party, hold onto the stock. If your doing M perf. exhaust, you can sell the stock.

Up to you.
