1999 BMW 328I Sports Muffler?

Hi,

I bought this car next to a sports silencer. I think it is suppose to hold three mufflers (bottles, or boxes whatever they are called), but mine have only one and next it’s just a pipe till the pause. It sounds pretty loud.

Is it true that performance in truth goes down next to this kind of setup (bcz engine wishes a pressure to build up in the exhaust manifold) and the vehicle actually consumes more gas (as mind does not make available me more than 22 mpg, but I have hear that BMW's give around 30 mpg.

I will appreciate a detailed explanation and counsel.
Thank you.

Answers:    Typical mod from an idiot (they think the louder the faster). Yes, you get that right. Exhaust gases relies on pressure and gas speed to purge itself out. The bigger the hole the slower the speed for this reason will cool the gas and stall in the tube. See if any other mods hold been made, close to a change on the intake. Does it looks factory made or home made? If so, more mods hold been done. I will chuck that stupid Coffee can exhaust and achieve the proper one. BMW spent millions of Euros on research to give you a apt performing car as a each day driver. With fuel efficiency and power.

Today cars are pretty powerful comparing final on the 80s and 70s for the given engine size. There is no much that you can do to boost performance minus investing some serious $$$$$$$$$ if you want it done right. All have to be tune as a in one piece, like complete system. Once you transform some, you affect other. Just from the start, if you want to increase performance, you will loose gas mileage. If you product the car lighter, you will hear the road/engine loud as hell while you drive. If you want a more exhaust flow, you inevitability a bigger intake flow, therefore you entail to change the spigot timing, so a cam with more aggressive timing is inevitability it, to match adjectives that. Now the car will run hotter, you involve a better radiator and a high flow river pump along with an grease cooler........... and hope for the best.

Did I miss some?
