Re: Derestricted Exhaust

I had a spare exhaust system, so I thought I'd have a look inside. The first thing to note is that it's a double-skin exhaust. That's plagiarism! Your work is NOT original. Methinks you've been copying my postings on the Z3mcoupe website. :wink: Funny that I posted similar photos of "how to do...

^^^^^ agree

Knock sensors should stop this, even when i had the supercharger on mine at full chat there was no knocking

Fairly easy switch, all unbolt very quickly and easily.

2 rear wings, bumper and side sills and perhaps inner wing plastics

the only issue would be the wheels, you'd need wider rims or spacers to take them out flush with the arches or swap the radius arms etc (that is a pain)

the whole point of a genuine 3 piece split rim is so you can vary the offset and rim width.
