BMW 135i Exhaust Prototype by HPF

V-bands aren't that much. You are paying for what they feel is just. Nothing wrong with that. Now, 700.00 downpipes are another story.

waiting here too......

So... will it fit the N55?

dont see why not since your DP has dual outlet. but before they offer that they will need a N55 to test fit cause HPF doesnt release anything until they test fit over and over prior to reaching a customers hands.

First 135i HPF exhaust being installed on monday, will report back

[Aries932]

Any word on when this this exhaust is going to be ready...from the clips this is my favorite sounding exhaust, and in about 3 days I will be able to buy just about any exhaust.

The final prototype is being test fit on my car as we, speak. Once all is confirmed then they go out to polishing and will be ready. ETA - shortly after Mfest from what I can tell, but that is NOT from HPF...just my best judgement

It is done. We are just finalizing the jig on Tim's car. I'll take some pics of the tips and post them up.

V bands also dont come cheap and are high quality. Ti tips im sure are not cheap either. Given i would never pay this much for the exhaust the quality is there.

Anything over $1K on DP back exhausts on these cars is due to mainly BMW tax, especially with no muffler (IMO). No offense to HPF as I have their FMIC and the thing is beautiful, a bit pricey, but it was along the same lines in price to it competition.

Here are a couple pics of the 135i and 335i "Titanium" tips.

HPF 135i Exhaust Titanium Tip (Single Outlet)





HPF 335i Exhaust (Dual Outlet) Burnt Titanium Tips





HPF 335i Exhaust (Dual Outlet) Silver Titanium Tips





135i and 335i's share the same downpipe and midpipes.

thanks chris B!

[escobar929]

man, those would have looked killer in black chrome

[mineo77]

you can anodize about anything!

[escobar929]

true but if they are planning on charging an arm and a leg for this exhaust, i would want it perfect from day one. Instead they give us Ti tips that no one wanted

[mineo77]

give Dave / Branden / or Kirk a call over there...sure they will make you happy.

I'm going to have to agree with you on this 100%. For the record, I love the TI look, but I want something discreet. TI isn't it. Black chrome would have been awesome.

We still don't have final pricing on this exhaust anyway so it's all speculation at this point.

same here!! exhaust is sweet! out of all exhausts that i've seen and heard... the HPF wins everything hands down!!

now promise that this will fit the N55 and i'm in!

any suggestions on a catless dp that would fit perfectly with this exhaust for the N55?

would go with the iCarbon catless DP for the N55. Harold from HPautowerks or DTMrack should have some on hand.
