Hi Ed,

As far as I know it will not fit, I was told the r33 dump pipe is a little bit bent at the end where it connects to the front pipe, different from the r32.

You could pop by a wrecker and compare both stock ones for an idea or even give a local exhaust joint a call.

Hope that helps

Mark

it fits.

you should also clarify wether you mean dump pipe (straight off the back of turbo) or front pipe (the part that goes from dump pipe to the Cat), or the all in one combo.

either way, I have previously purchased one of those r32/33 dump/front pipe all in one combo's and it fitted my R32 and at the same time an R33 had it fitted to his car on the hoist next to me.

I'd say it fits fine rom experience.

I had issues but i think it had more to do with poor manufacture.

Basially the rear flange was slightly angled so i could never get the thing to seal properly at the top until i replaced my cat converter and had the new one custom fitted.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
