        I don't own a BMW now but similar to your car (lexus is300) I installed a complete system (headers, Y pipe, cat back
        and back exhaust the none-straight through type all are catless) 2.5" from megan racing, my purpose was not to gain more HP it was since cats were clogged and the whole system was leaking. power gains vs noise doesn't justify it
        and suddenly I remembered HONDAs and fart cans or douches in their chromed american muscle boats!
        better save your money, sell your 330i and buy a proper m3

        BTW I will install an HFC later on to mute it a bit

          4 door manual m3 (e92) is very rare to find in UAE. So the next best thing is 330i....
          that's y...

          BTW HFC doesn't mute ur exhaust at all...

            Congratulations!

            If the rest of your exhaust is stock, it should not be too loud.

              Thank you....
              I sure hope so..
              Car is at octane.
              Hope it fits as the guy who sold me the headers is slightly confused whether it will fit or not..[emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

                The headers look very nice. They should fit even if it requires some modification.

                        Long story....
                        Saw this first on eBay. The price was 500$ for the item and 500$ shipping. The seller was from international city Dubai. Contacted him directly. He actually got it from a friend of his who had it at his shop. But unfortunately his shop closed down and he asked the seller to sell it for him..

                        1900aed is what I paid for it. If I was to order from Italy the same item wld cost 1095€ just for the header....
                        So I just got lucky...

                        But didn't hear how loud it is now so there is a chance of me taking it out as well...

                        Hope it's not insanely loud....
                        Hoping for the best..

                        Will post a sound clip once I get the car..

                          To my surprise turned out to be exactly that...
                          The car is no louder than stock. The rasp is only there if u rev it past 5k. So, as stealth as it can be.
                          Even Shaq was impressed, I guess.
                          Power gain is not night and day but can be felt throughout the rev range. Now even near redline the car is pulling hard.
                          Guessing that my stock manifold was more than just a restriction, that's y maybe I'm feeling the power gain all throughout. Normally u wld lose lower rpm and gain some at high rev..

                          More than the power gain I guess the header sounding more like stock was the biggest surprise. Anyone who owns a Chevy wld know what I'm saying. A header on those makes the car more like a cop magnet.
                          With this I guess I have to open the hood and show that I've headers....

                          I know that the order for mods starts with an air intake. But didn't want to let it go for such a low price...[emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

                          With this I guess even if I post a video u wldnt notice any difference in sound. But yes a cat back wld change all that...

                            If you put a cat back with it, it will be very loud.

                            I guess you are not feeling the gain because the ECU needs some time to adapt. Also, you should consider putting in an intake. That should even out everything nicely and maximise the gains.

                            Drive safe.
