F30 335i M Performance Exhaust Install DIY (with Exhaust Clips)
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I paid $900 for the exhaust shipped to my door and $0 for installation. Please do this at your own risk. Iam not responsible if you mess something up. If you feel like you cant, dont attempt it. Take it to someone. Tools: Exhaust cutting tool, I rented one at Autozone for $50 Ratched 17MM socket Wire (golf tee mod) Wire cutter Pry bar or screwdriver. Car ramps or jack stands. If you guys have any questions just ask. Hope this helps, and Enjoy the exhaust. Sorry for the few typos I was typing fast trying to get done so I can go watch the Bears game. EDIT: Fixed Typos. VIDEOS: Took some videos before and after I bolted on the M Performance. I used my Iphone5 so hope it came out ok. I pointed the speaker towards the exhaust for better sound. EDIT: Here is the video after 1000 miles. Its "borken in". I think it sounds deeper, and it did get louder. I expected this reading up on past threads. I think its the perfect amount of exhaust noise and its not intrusive at all. If you get a killer deal on it I suggest get it. Its a warm start, revs are up to 4k, golf tee mod done flap fully open. I started in comfort mode and switched to sport in the end of the video.

I enjoyed making this DIY most of all. Glad I can be of service.
Take your time, let us know how it turns out, and if you like your new exhaust.

Thank You

As for the 3 piece piping, I know it looks strange. What they did was add those big chrome tips with the M logo, and instead of them being sort of tapered to fit the muffler pipes they used a smaller pipe welded the tips on it, and then slipped that on the muffler tips and then welded that. Its a bit strange but whatever saves them money I guess. Quote:
Why thank you sir for the kind words. Quote:
No spit just good old wire. It's the only thing that works for now, untill someone comes up with something different (I have something in the works stay tuned) F30 community is still fairly new, but theres a lot of good DIY's on there already. I have quite a few myslef. Squeak and rattle fixes, fascia removal, radar detector hardwire. Im planning a ton more DIY's in the spring when the weather gets nicer. Planning a laser jammer DIY. Thats should be fun. Quote:
I do do it for a living, well sort of. Im automotive manufacturing. Trying to take this certified electrical course venturing into new things. But getting a free course out of my company is like pulling teeth.
