Considering the flex joins are worth more than the sale price I can't see how you could loose. Buy it and try it out.

Post up the results showing any fitment issues for others to see. I have bought from Npower before, they have some good products.

the Ausie Representative is

Nahux Technology Pty Ltd

U3/ 806 Beaudesert RdCoopers Plains, QLD, 4108

(07) 3216 6498

From What i have heard and seen thru Aquointances the Parts seem to be good Quality only coments i had from mates are if you got a problem dont expect much help from them as they seem to be more of an importer rather than manufacturer here in Oz (not 100% sure) so dont expect great technical support but you can always contact the US representative as for parts Quality they are much better than your made in China / hong kong ones.

then again they ahve over 5000 Positive coments and only about 30 negative ones on Ebay so id say they should be prety safe and as Scotty sayd Flex Joins are worth heaps so id go for it !

But perhaps the OBX for V36 would fit?

Mine rocked up today, I'm waiting to fit it when my exhaust arrives from the US in the next couple of weeks.

I'll let you know! After I get Osiris on my ecu I'm planning to fit the test pipes and run a single 3 inch cat further back.

I had a catalytic convertor and a flex pipe on my AE111 that I bought from N Power, and I had it for over 20,000km before I sold the car.

Yep!

It arrived this morning.

I'm going to test fit the Y-pipe over the weekend if I can get the car high enough off the ground to be bothered (will be with the compliance cats and the standard rear pipe + muffler).

Came with gaskets and fairly good quality nuts and bolts.

The guy is in archerfield, if I had known that I would have asked if I could pick it up.

Mine went on today,

I ended up getting an exhaust shop to do it as I couldn't get the bolts to budge (they had to use an oxy torch on all of them).

It isn't any louder, tiny bit deeper.

To make it sound better or get more power out of the exhaust you would really need to replace the rear mufflers, that's where the restriction is!

But back to the y-pipe, other than the PITA nuts and bolts on the car, it went straight on :D

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?

      My BMW 335i

      I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.

      Odometer LCD is Intermittently Wonky

      By Kip · Posted

      Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.

      C34 RSFour V Build in the US

      Yeah. Seeing the finish line must be quite the motivation. Good on you for sticking with it. Understood about the model choice. Also, totally get the challenge with sourcing parts. Based on your handle, I'm just a few hours south of you. All the little things I've bought so far come with $30 shipping, even if it's just stickers for the boot!

      Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
