andyhundley Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I recently picked up a 2000 328i and I acquired a stock ZHP exhaust. I was curious if it is a direct bolt on or will it require some modification? The reason I ask is because the exhaust is an hour away and so I can't compare it to what I have now. I searched the interwebs but I couldn't find any info. There isn't anything wrong with my current exhaust but the ZHP exhaust sounds nice. If anyone has any insight, feel free to chime in. Oh and here is a pick of the new daily/beater. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think on the 328i's the flange that bolts to the exhaust is at a different angle than a 330 or a 325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnt m3 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm not sure the 328 has the flapper. Either way, the golf tee mod doesn't make much difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Do you know if your 328i has the sport package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up so your not stepping backwards. Run the vin on bmwarchiv.de andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
