ED: and a stock 135i mufler isn't 3" ID, so it's effectively maybe a 2.5" exhaust, going 3" piping is a waste when it's restricted anyway
so since the standard replacement for the n52 seems to actually be 2.75-3" all the way through, this isn't even a full large diameter exhaust
expect actually few more hp with a proper sized muffler (haha, i'm usually theone saying that mufflers don't do anything! :P)
replace the muffler, new headers with larger/no secondaries, i can't see why another 15-20 wouldn't be seen. |
Blah blah blah.....No it is not. +5-6HP compared to my bone stock which is may be 1% different than his as baseline, which was on a HOT day as well with 5 pulls... Breathing better, less exhaust restriction isn't helping much, that's what I am saying. It needs to be a complete solution. |
Most other dynos seem to show more like 10whp with the same mods.. I mean, the graph says 210ish when stock most pull 198-200??
But that's exacty what i said - do the full thing properly and you'll see real gains
Ed: the only aftermarket cams i found were 4k in a full kit with exhaust and tune - i sent them an email asking about the price of cams alone - no response.. If you could get a set of oem cams to a machine shop it probably wouldn't be too bad to get them to recreate them in a larger profile (not too much, just enough to raise the rev range a bit without making low range super lumpy)
