Hi All -
With the new rules allowing us to shed some weight this year, we thought it was a great time to put on the Borla exhaust. Took it to HP Autowerks in Santa Barbara for the install.
First, Peter got the OEM exhaust out. Here's 60 lbs. of German engineering. It goes to one big pipe after the resonator.
Here's the Borla kit - weighs about 31 lbs.
The old exhaust gaskets after the cats get pretty cooked, so had to go with some new exhaust gaskets
Peter got the front pipes in place
There are clamps provided to clamp the sections together
Then the middle section and muffler
Nice looking exhaust tips
The system has a great sound, adding a much deeper rumble to the 135i's power
