Single Exit Exhaust on M235i

BMW GENIUS · 02-05-2016, 02:54 PM

I have had this strange idea since the other day about what would it look like with an M235i with a single exit exhaust angled out the left rear kind of like some of the "Supra" exhausts look like except just a Could anyone render something? What's everyone's thoughts? Too Rice?

DO IT!!!

I've seen it done on a few 135i's...but they had a single exhaust opening in the rear bumper.

It might look funky unless you cover it up or buy a diffusor for a 228

It would look like total sheit..

I meant to say i wouldn't put a can looking exhaust on the back though. Probably just run a 3.5 inch pipe out the rear

I'm a fan of the dual exhaust myself

xantdieselx · 02-05-2016, 09:02 PM

Personally, I think it would break up the symmetry of the rear but to each his own. There was a time when dual outlet exhaust was reserved for higher powered cars but now you see the on everything from Nissan Altimas to Mini-vans.

Personally I can't stand the angled exhaust on anything other than a Japanese car. Even then it's limited to just Supras, RX-7, etc. Just my opinion though.

M2ALEX · 02-06-2016, 12:45 AM

a single 3" would produce more gains throughout the band. The dual is just for looks.

Merc for hire · 02-06-2016, 03:06 PM

I bought the M235i just for the dual exhaust. If I wanted a single exhaust, I would have saved $15k and gotten the 320i.

Single exhaust on the 320i looks so anaemic.

BMW GENIUS · 02-07-2016, 01:32 AM

Any 2.5" pipe will look anemic. A 3.5" on the other hand with a good looking tip, that's what has me wondering.

Actually I don't think that's an exhaust at all. It's a leaf blower. But I'm still confused because I don't think they have leaves in Nevada.

I understand everyone has different tastes and I appreciate the feedback, but this community isn't going to grow by putting others down just because they are thinking outside of the box. I'm not telling you where should go work.

Money-saving opportunity?

i think it would look good the only thing is... where are you going to get nice diffuser to suit this job unless its custom just like the exhaust would have to be...

Easy. 228i diffuser.

BentZero · 02-07-2016, 10:12 PM

You'll definitely be unique. If only someone with some Photoshop skills could draw something up for you.

mike@x-ph.com · 02-08-2016, 02:05 PM

If done correctly, i think it might look good.
It will be unique thats for sure

M2ALEX · 02-09-2016, 02:20 AM

3.5" is overkill. You might actually lose power with that. You want to keep the pressure consistent from the turbo to the exhaust tips. Hot air moves faster than cold air.

But with that look you'd want an aggressive carbon diffuser...

A 228 bumper, wouldn't do justice for that setup (srs) haha would have to get a custom diffuser made.
