2016 228i Exhaust Upgrade Recommendations
Hello,
As the title says, I am looking to upgrade the exhaust on my stock 2016 BMW 228i. I am very new to exhaust upgrades so looked to this forum for some tips from people far more experienced than I. Some qualifications for my upgrades: - I want the car to remain street legal and pass emissions tests (so that means keeping the cat, though I have heard of some good high-flow cat options) - I want to remove the muffler/resonator for better sound/performance - I want to upgrade the exhaust tips to the design with the M235i (pictures below) My current setup: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1041864 My desired setup: https://zaero-design.com/bmw/bmw-2-s...EaAl_MEALw_wcB - This will mean I will also have to get a new diffuser to support the different exhaust header style Questions I was considering: - What exactly are the components I will need for this upgrade and what are some cheap/good quality options? - Will I need any ECU tuning...and if so, any good options there? Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to this. Any tips are a great help! |

I initially bought the Dinan exhaust but sold that after a few years and switched to the M performance from a 235i.
I prefer the M performance exhaust, but the Dinan was louder. Keep the resonator on. Sounds better with it on. Get an exhaust and call it a day. There's nothing else you need to do |
Appreciate
