EVC Meisterschaft's...do i need the rest of the exhaust?
Hey guys! so i'm in the middle of getting things ready here. i'll be ordering the Wireless EVC wiring kit from QTP here shortly. I can't believe GTHaus almost wants $100 more dollars for the kit vs getting it directly from QTP?! QTP basically said you're paying $100 for the Meisterschaft logo on the remotes lol! anyways, i was just gonna have the mufflers slapped on but started thinking if i should order the rest of the pipes that go all they way up to the DP's. car is bone stock right now and maybe down the road i'll finally get around to getting a tune, DP and CP. but that's a big "IF"? Is there really any benefits to getting the rest of the pipes or should i leave as is? really appreciate all the input out there from you guys...Bmw doubles, Stuck, ect...

I'd say if you can; go all out.
Also what is the Wireless EVC wiring kit for exactly? |

What is the diameter of the piping on the full Meisterschaft system? Our stock piping is 2.25", so if the full system is 2.5" or larger, it will play a small difference in outflow on the exhaust. Since you're not pushing any additional boost (read: not tuned) then I wouldn't worry as much. IMO, pay an exhaust shop to go 2.5" all the way back, tune it, and reap the gainz and sound.

here's the actuator that opens and closes the flap: valve closed: here it is installed on one side of the exhaust which will open/close that side:

The stock tubing is plenty up to the task of handling extraction for the amount of power we're making. Just do the axle backs as you have planned.

That is mandrel bent stainless steel, artfully TIG welded to perfection and priced accordingly.
Most muffler shops use crush bent aluminized steel and hopefully have someone reasonably proficient with a MIG. The two are worlds apart. |

Yup! They are bada$$ looking! Wondering if its worth it as far as gains are concerned? I emailed GTHAUS so hopefully I'll find out how much?

I can't imagine there being any performance gains over factory exhaust unless you're already maxed out and full bolt on with an upgrade turbo.
Your car is essentially stock no? |

Eventually I'll get some kind of tune...JB4, Race Chip, Dinan? And than probably DP, CP and so on.

Your stock engine or with all the mods you can throw at it won't need the pipes, and no matter how good they look nobody will ever see them except the grease monkey doing your oil change

You can get polished stainless steel exhaust pipe and have a exhaust shop/fab shop make that section for way less money, but why? Unless you're planning on 400+ horsepower its not necessary. It just doesn't seem worth it for something no one is going to see. It may have a better sound, but I would install the axle back as is and hear how it sounds first then decide if its needs more work, money and aggervation of tracking down the right guy for the job. |
