Just wondering how long it took people to do a 335xi downpipe install n54? I want to do it but in the event of a major problem thats covered by warranty I would have to put stock ones back in so it is a major debate for me here have 34k left on warranty....

its hard subframe will need to be dropped to get downpipes in.

It honestly wasn't too bad. Time consuming, yes. Dropping the subframe was actually the easiest part in my opinion. I'm too massive go comfortably fit my arms in the downpipe area so that part was a pain in the ass for me. If I had to do it again I could probably knock it out in half the time so probably around 5-6 hours.

Wasn't as hard as I assumed, I used a lift I don't think I could've done it under jack stands.
Took ~4.5hrs. Lowering the subframe is easy it hangs from the suspension. I believe this is way easier than pulling an axle. All you really need is something to support the engine and the proper tools. I also lowered basically my entire exhaust for more clearance with where they meet w/DP's. |
