ZHP Exhaust on a 2000 328i?

[YoungCR]

I'd check parts diagrams to see if manifold gaskets or even the manifolds themselves are the same between a standard 328 and 330. I would think its a bolts right on situation but that's just my guess.

[nick.e46.330i.]

I think on the 328i's the flange that bolts to the exhaust is at a different angle than a 330 or a 325

They'd be different. Why not just golf tee mod?

Golf Tee Mod?

[patsbimmer1]

Summary:  Unplug the vacuum line going to the exhaust flapper and plug it with a golf tee.

I'm not sure the 328 has the flapper. Either way, the golf tee mod doesn't make much difference at all.

The 328i should have the flapper. It makes a difference at lower rpms but if he's looking for wide open scream then it won't matter.

I am going to pick it up this weekend. My friend parted out a ZHP so he has a set of sway bars as well which will be a nice upgrade.

Do you know if your 328i has the sport package?

[andyhundley]

I don't think so. It has base model seats but they are heated. I plan on slamming it and buying a ZHP bumper for it so I can be like all the other cool kids.

Run straight pipes with glass packs. You'll be the envy of your local auto part store chronies.

Reason I ask is that the 328i sport actually had larger front sway bars than the zhp. Just a heads up so your not stepping backwards. Run the vin on bmwarchiv.de

Andy's car doesn't have the sport package.
