You can pretty much figure at least $500 for a decent catback.
1990 BMW 535i upgrades
Hey everyone, i have a 1990 BMW 535i and I want to turn this into a real head turner, i already have a performance chip, currently working on wheels, one thing that kills me though are the costs of perfomance exhaust systems. I have seen tri flo and remus but im curious if there any any other competitive cheaper brands?

Almost stock.
My car got covered in pollen, and then it rained. On top of that, i picked a terrible time of day to take the pics so they turned out all grainy.

what does the K and N intake sound like? any difference and how much did your car get lowered

I only have the K&N filter in the stock intake. The m30 engine sound heavenly at full throttle, but they all might. The PO lowered the car, and i dont know how much. I could measure it if i had some stock measurements to compare it with.Originally Posted by blackpawn5

oh dont worry about it, i have the K and N filter as well but im planning on buying the intake this week

I dont think you will get a power gain from a K&N intake from these cars, the stock airbox is actually very efficient. If you want more sound, replace the restrictive trumpet silencer with a section of tubing from home depot (do a search).

im not looking for power at all, just a rich sound without buying a tri flo exhaust system yet
