Well to cut a long story short my exhaust parted company with my e28 last week after hitting a bump in the road. Being a 518 carb M10B18 engine I'm not having much luck finding any aftermarket exhausts. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind? Will a full 518i exhaust system fit a 518? How much should I expect to pay for a stainless (single pipe) system to be made from manifold back? Any companies in Lancashire you can recommend? Have a pic of said e28.

Your probably looking at about £280 for manifold back two silencer system, or that's what I used to charge when I ran a place doing it.

Low and slow
Why can't i tune it?

I went to a place to ask for my cf. Super simple, 2 silencers and over axle.
£400 plus vat.
However, they are making their own silencers too. They cut up the originals and copy exactly but in stainless. Guaranteed for vehicle life.
Great work but too much for me.

I can get a 3" turbo back with 100cell cat for £600 custom made. I paid £150 to my local stainless guy for me berlingo exhaust, that was 2.5" from the downpipe back.

As far as I know the 'i' and '[nothing]' 1.8 models are the same. I have a full 1.8 system you can have in mild in Bristol if its of any use to you to get you back on the road?

^^^^
And that's what makes this Forum great!
if you prefer Stainless then try MIJ Performance in Walsall, they did the system on my Monza (about 4 years ago) for £395 so price has probably change, from down pipes back, Twin pipe until the back box.

That's a very generous offer Rich! Really appreciate it but after a quick look on google maps, Bristol is over 5 hours away from me and at the minute the only other car I have to use is my mrs' every now and then. Bloody Sod's law ey! That would've been ideal too. |
