Help! Convert 328i Rear to 335i Rear??

paulkim510 · 08-08-2009, 02:58 PM

So Here's the Dilemma....

About a week ago I get into an accident and mess up my rear Bumper

But Luckily I found a guy near me who sold me his 335i rear bumper painted the same color as my car for a pretty good price.

I've seen people who done the conversion to the dual exhaust but I'm not sure how to go about doing this

I can't get the bumper installed first since my stock exhaust won't fit with the 335i Bumper. And I don't know if I could get the dual exhaust done first because I don't know how well it would fit with the 335i bumper.
If anyone could give any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!!

You need to go to a muffler shop. Basically, you will need to drive around without a bumper while getting things done but bring the new bumper with you. Do not try to put on the new bumper first, you will just F it up.

brandon@eas did his. I believe it was a muffler delete with custom piping to fit the dual openings. He also got some nice tips to finish out the look.

Just find a capable shop. Have them drop the bumper, do a dual exhaust, and pop up the new one for fitment.
