nope

there was no interest.

you can modify at a shop any 135i midpipe at the headers/exhaust manifold

how much does that typically run?

the cost of 135i midpipe and a axelback/muffler that fits. plus custom labour to do the following

cut off 135i ends at manifold.
weld on pipes that match 128i manifold diameters to mate, add flages --> matches the 128i exhaust ends.
OR simply cut off 128i ends and mate them to 135i cut off ends ( destroys 128i full exhaust but cheaper).
new OEM gaskets(15$ each)

haul and store the 11 foot long one piece 128i exhaust

Two piece, headers bolt to mids.

Obviously the better choice in exhaust. Headers should be the top mod for the n52. The costs and emission test worries hurt it these types of sales

I was merely saying the exhaust is two pieces, not one.

Best bang for the buck is definitely the DISA manifold, then headers. That said, the headers add a lot more than just power. They give the car character galore.

There ARE a few advantages to living outside a SULEV state, headers and the (lack of the) CARB being two of them.

And no silly secondary air pump.

Be thankful.
