Any competent workshop can install this Angus, don't worry about taking it to BMW.

RaihaX · 10-03-2011, 02:37 AM

isnt literally just cut off the stock mid pipe and flange/weld the new one in?

get someone like united BMW to run a groupbuy, youd save a packet load doing it this way, and it would be more profitable for him aswell

Hawkeye 135i · 10-03-2011, 03:15 AM

I'm interested in any GB, although I'd prefer the AUD to be a bit stronger!

RaihaX · 10-03-2011, 03:17 AM

id be happy if we hit parity again!

Harlequin · 10-03-2011, 03:30 AM

So tell me... Is it just that it doesn't meet ADR Specs or is actually illegal in Aus?

RaihaX · 10-03-2011, 03:43 AM

I cannot imagine the cops would know that the exhaust doesn't meet the ADR...

So even if it's illegal what are the chances you will be pulled over for it! they would look at it and just think is OEM.

Harlequin · 10-03-2011, 03:45 AM

Yeah... but an insurance assessor might...

RaihaX · 10-03-2011, 03:50 AM

Yeah that is a fair point I suppose didn't think of that

you're putting aftermarket springs on it?

how would an OEM part affect insurance

Harlequin · 10-03-2011, 04:14 AM

Aftermarket springs aren't illegal as long as they don't put the car lower than a certain specified height. (100mm in QLD - I think)

If the Exhaust breaches state laws then the car is not roadworthy and the insurance company does not have to honour the policy - even if the part in question has nothing to do with the accident...

- as far as I know...

MrBlonde · 10-03-2011, 04:28 AM

Oh dear oh dear ...

Attached PDF states the requirements for both Lowering and Exhaust and all of what I said above was correct. (P4,5 & 6)

Including the voiding of insurance... (Start P26)

Whether or not an insurance assessor or cop would notice that the exhaust is non-ADR compliant is another thing entirely...

If the "oh dear" is because this has been covered before.... it hasn't happened while I've been here so I missed that conversation...

Wizzzz · 10-03-2011, 04:47 AM

Get it!!

I've got it on my car and it sounds AWESOME!!

RaihaX · 10-03-2011, 05:01 AM

If any lol more for sound I'd say.

Harlequin · 10-03-2011, 05:03 AM

Yeah... It says 5HP but I'm looking at it completely for sound...

Fuck all that, if you can't enjoy your mods and sleep at night then leave it stock.

Harlequin · 10-03-2011, 05:07 AM

I didn't say I wasn't gonna do it or that I wouldn't sleep at night....

I'm just the sort of person that likes to know all the facts before making a decision. Once I've satisfied my curiosity then I can make what's commonly referred to as an "informed decision"

Having done that I'll sleep just fine... It's the not knowing that's likely to cause sleepless nights... but that's just me...
