Anyone done 328 to 335 exhaust conversion? Welding required? Or clamp does the job?

Anyone done 328 to 335 exhaust conversion? Does it require cutting and welding, is the position of the clamp the same between the two?

Mine was welded

How you like it with 335 exhaust

tonyec7 · 03-13-2018, 01:29 AM

well I have a 228i N20 with a m235i exhaust (essentially the same thing) and I like it a lot. Definetly changed the sound, you can hear the turbo a lot more now so its probably letting gases out more

Yeah, I am. To clarify, are you just wanting to put a 335i exhaust on there? Or are you talking an aftermarket one?

I did this 4 years ago with the 335i MPE, welded an adapter pipe to the muffler end and clamped it on the other end (to the mid pipe). It was a non stainless solution and it held up really good cause I parked in a big warm and dry garage all year round, no place for any rust to start developing on the welds etc. This was til we bought a house with a single, non heated, garage. Very damp and moist in the winter and things went south pretty quick. So I had it redone professionally 3 weeks ago with stainless pipes, welding and all. Amazing job:
