Any high quality Exhaust shop can build the Stainless exhaust system for you.
You can expect to pay somewhere around 3K if you reuse your catalytic.

Hey mate - im very new to chipping so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
If the M-chip is available for, say, 3k - is there anything else in my stock 125i (sport) that i'd need to upgrade to cater for this extra power? For example, i'd think that i'd probably be up for bigger brakes, etc...
Or is it a simple case of handing over 3k for some extra kilowatts?
Thanks |
Depends on the stage of the remap tune.
Some are just buy it and it will give you extra power instantly. Others you have stages, you will get more power if you change intake, exhaust, down pipes, intercooler.
Remaps won't be 3k
At most like Cobb being the most expensive that I know for BMW is $800-900.
There is one JB4 that will give you extra around 50 HP and 60nm of torque for $350 usd. That is without having to modify anything else.
In turbo engines if you mostly exhaust, downpipes and intake, you get a lot extra HP.
If you do all of those withe the JB4 time you can get up to 270hp from the 218hp engine. From what I reviewed.
