With the wrong headlights/kidney grille it always looks weird. A M3 is almost completely different from a non-M, but at least it has somewhat of a M3-look.

@arjunmatharoo1894 Жыл бұрын

doing downpipes makes a huge difference on the n54

@jrbuch Жыл бұрын

I appreciate that you made a really nice exhaust, but I suspect there's quite large gains in fitting aftermarket downpipes. At least in my experience with JZ engines, the stock cast downpipe/dump pipes are huge restrictions. You're better off spending money there, rather than making sure your exhaust is mandrel bent.

@shona5512 Жыл бұрын

Don't forget that this show is broadcast on TV. So while I'm sure Elvis knows that they could get more gains out of a Downpipe & Decat, the production company won't actually allow them to install them because they're not really seen as "legal" for MOT inspection. Obviously, there are aftermarket applications available for road use, but they'd rather just use the stock ones so that people don't think they're promoting something that isn't by-the-book.

With regards to the exhaust being larger diameter, yes flow is increased and top BHP, but is there not a sweet point so you don’t lose back pressure and low down torque?

It’s a radiator that cools the air/boost into the engine. When the turbo sucks in air it compresses it which heats it up. Engines don’t like hot air, makes less power

Nice work but doesn't look anything like an M3. The rear is quite nice, however no widened arches, no M3 bonnet bulge or side skirts, the front bumper is just wrong proportions, the e90 M3 saloon also had the e92 coupe front lights and grill that made the M3 look good. This is just a long way off for what I expect from a car enthusiast tbh
