does it fit the 535xi wagons?
Without test fitting it it's tough to tell for the wagon.

For those of you worried about the previous dyno sheet regarding the RPi exhaust dropping power over 6200 rpm, here's another dyno of the car without the heat soak. RPi originally drove the car for over 2 hours through traffic, then dyno'ed twenty consecutive times resulting in the first dyno showing a loss of power. The new dyno was done this morning and the results showed that the exhaust did not drop power over stock at any point.

Here is round 2 of our testing. We put the stock exhaust back on while it was just as heat soaked as the runs with our exhaust.

I most likely will dyno once I get the PC reflash. But if I don't get the reflash this week, i'll probably put the jb3 back on and perhaps dyno later on down the line.
What's the PC reflash? New ECU flash? Not sure I've heard of that one - I know of ESS, Dinan, LET and DME Tune (the new Conforti remap), but what is PC? Thanks!

Powerchip....it's the company that RPi works with and the tune/reflash they offer their customers...apparently they are testing the PC flash on a 335i right now....

Thanks for the info... looking forward to another option, and very interested to see how it compares to the other flashes and piggies on the market! RPi - any info you can share yet?

The Powerchip is still tuning the n54 ecu, but the last time I spoke with Eloy he mentioned possibly boosting in the neighborhood of 17PSI!!!! If they are able to get the PC tune to push 17psi, it would crush the competition! Of course this is all hearsay and is unconfirmed.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INTRO PRICING! MAKE SURE YOU GET ON THE LIST BEFORE THE PRICES ARE RAISED!!!!!

We'll have an intro/gb price for the 535i exhaust at: $1950. This price will be good for the first 12 customers. Production will begin today and they will be shipping in about 35-45.
