BMW E36 328i w/ Scorpion Exhaust

[@scalewarmachines]

Awesome, I'm getting one for my old 328i! Sold!

[@Stian2001]

Did you gain power and nm from this?

[@blz47]

This the full scorpion cat back system? Considering one for my 330ci, I’d assume it would sound near enough the same as this? Just can’t find any vids of it on the e46

[@harryfitchett6004]

All the 'full' catback system counts as on this is effectively a backbox from the cats back, as that's all it is. Far as I know there are no other Scorpion exhaust parts, maybe cats or a decat section but I don't know. As for how it would sound on a 330, I would imagine slightly deeper. There are some videos of it on here but not many. I have seen some people have modified E36 M3 Scorpion catbacks to fit 330s, that could be another option if you could find one for a decent price? I got this one cheap compared to how much they are new I only paid £120 for this and it's got the upswept 'DTM style' tips, it was cheap because one hanger had snapped off, welded it back on, all good.

Scuse please could you explain the difference between i 325 and a 328i

[@harryfitchett6004]

325i uses M50 engine, 328i uses M52 engine. M50 is made from iron, M52 is aluminium

@@harryfitchett6004 Which is the better of the two

[@harryfitchett6004]

@@romaingoncalves86 Depends what you mean by better. The M50 is stronger due to being made from iron but this also means it is heavier. The M52 is much lighter, still relatively strong but not as much as the M50. The m52 revs much freer due to being lighter too. There are other advantages/disadvantages to either.

@@harryfitchett6004 I think to buy a 328i for track will you advise me a 325i or 328i

[@harryfitchett6004]

@@romaingoncalves86 328i's nowadays, at least in the UK, seem to be much easier to find and buy than 325i's, and also because the engine is lighter and still very modifiable that would be a smart idea. Most people track using their e36s use 328s, m3s, or 318is's as far as I know.

Does this still have cats?

[@harryfitchett6004]

Yes, stock cats. Only exhaust mod is the scorpion catback.
