Guide on 335i mods

[rahimi8]

Hi all,guess this is my 2nd post after introducing myself on the newbies section. I just got my 335 i few months back, but now thinking of putting some power to it. The problem is Im a total idiot in car modification. hope all the sifus here can help me a lil bit with my q's.. 1. If i want to tune my car, which tune should i use? from what i heard there is not much options here in Malaysia. How much does it cost? 2. Without changing the exhaust, how do i add a lil bit more sound to it? and again, what is the cost? thanks all

Hi Rahimi..welcome to the forum.

1.There are a few optons out there,the most numerous would be Procede and JuiceBox.Look it up and study the features.There are just too many variables and features to explain here.

2.U can get an exhaust shop to take out the valve in ur exhaust system that regulates exhaust noise/sound.

Soulfood,
what time is the OTT? this is for 335 gang?

supergripen,
how is your experience with PROcede? how much horsepower did it add to your car?

any consequences of taking out the valve? is there any shop u can recommend me to do this and the cost?

Hi & welcome,
If you are willing to reverse your decision on purchasing an exhaust. I have mine for sale which is a BMW performance. You can check it out in the classified section. http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?48088-MWTS-335i-BMW-Performance-exhaust

Procede? Hmm...lemme see.From 306bhp to 376bhp,feels pretty damn good.There are not many roads where you can deploy full throttle for more than a few seconds without getting into trouble.It's freakin' quick
On the flipside tho,I've had a few CEL moments which turns out to be pressure sensor failures and one occurence which turned out to be an ignition coil giving way.I don't know if these failures can be attributed to Procede,but you do run higher boost with increased pressures in the engine.These items costs a few hundred ringgits to replace which isn't too bad.All said and done,I'm very very happy with it.For the performance you get,these are minor problems..negligible I'd say.

As for the exhaust valve,I don't really know..mine is still stock.

agreed bro, there are not many roads we can run with full throttle, unless ur the king than can get the police to close the road for u. North south highway? u cant even enjoy fast lane for 2 km without being interrupted with kereta-perasan-laju sitting on the fast lane refusing to move aside.

the minor problem acceptable la bro, beli myvi with no mods pun ada problem.. haha. where did u get ur procede installed bro? ive read both JB4 and procede.. procede seems to be more risk-free than JB4.

Agreed on the PLUS highway thingy.. memang susah nak sustain high speeds without being hindered by clueless zombies that roam the highways.Even if diorang sedar,they can't judge the rate of closure especially when u're doing high speeds.But you'll soon learn to adapt and drive around these people.One thing for sure tho,your brakes needs to always be in tip top condition.

Had mine installed at Obermaier Jln Ipoh.I'm currently running just the Procede v4 without any bolt-ons.It's a bit more expensive than the JB but it has more safety parameters and more useful features.JB users will of course beg to differ but I guess it all comes down to personal preferences.Look at the features they offer and make ur choice.Either way,you'll end up with a very very quick BMW Mine is a 4door and de-badged,so it's more of a surprise to other road users,especially those that usually prey on lesser engined BMWs hehehe

Yes, d pony tail is a prerequisite 2 join, but dont worry, safety is no 1 priority. It is more a test of cars, not driving skills.

you can DIY to remove the exhaust valve bro..personally i find the sound is much better to suit the 335..not too loud, not too low..check this out:

Silverbullet, thank u so much for the info. After reading it i straight away go to my car and try the mod. Some increase on the sound level when idle. Havent got the chance to press my paddle as it is almost midnight.. Nanti kena parang with my neighbour. Gonna try it tomorrow and post an update here,

 

[Daniel E30]

Thanx for sharing this...just tried it,the space there is a bit tight,can barely get my hands in.But I did it.A very slight increase in sound at idle,at low to med throttle I barely notice any difference in actual exhaust note but the turbo whine is now more pronounced.Pretty cool,although I want more hehehe
Looking at BMW Performance,but kinda pricey.. we'll see.Got other more important stuffs in the pipeline.

One of my neighbour used to have a Subaru Impreza STi version7 with a Fujitsubo exhaust system..very very loud,even at idle.But he is discreet,so no probs from us neighbours.BTW he now drives a e90 325i on style230 19" wheels
