Performance exhaust will give the car a 'meaner' sounding exhaust note. Pretty much that's all. Some claim a few wkw but nothing anyone will feel. At this time it's not for me. What about yourself?
It's getting fitted as soon as Stu's shipment arrives and I can find time in my diary to get the car to my friendly club mechanic. Maybe next week?

Power's not the main purpose here (I bought a 328i not a 335i after all), but I enjoy the improved throttle response and aural qualities an exhaust system provides

When the stage 2 comes out and more power upgrades its going to be a quick 4 cylinder. Big turbo on our cars ;X

Any feedback from other owners will be very helpful as dealership claims that this is normal especially on WHITE cars.

Thanks

I got an F20 petrol and same issue, the inside & outside of exhaust is pitch black, I use Shell 95 or Vortex 95, Premium 98 causes the engine to misfire when cold so no longer using. I reckon if you drive modestly and city stop start, you get this soot or tar. Whilst the car is under warranty I would not worry much but could be fuel related as well our fuel is not comparable to Euro ones.
