Will a n55 PE for xdrive fit on a n54 rwd? UPDATED: INSTALLED + VIDEO

Sorry for repost, posted in wrong section originally.

Hi all,

I'm tried searching for sometime but I couldn't get a solid answer.

I've come across a good deal on a PE. The seller has a 2011 e90 335xi, and I have an 2008 e90 335i rwd.

Will this exhaust fit my car, or will I need to make any modifications to my exhaust. It seems from the pics that the mufflers and the xpipe for the n55 is included.


Also is there a difference from him having the x drive and me being rwd?

Thanks in advance.

Is he selling you the x pipe and mufflers only?

I have n55 mufflers with ebays $35 x-pipe. Took it to a very nice muffler shop to weld the rest of the piping and it worked like a charm.

He's selling me whatever is in that pic

So I guess it's the mufflers and and the xpipe.

It will work with clamps as well instead of welding?

Yep, camps or welding will work.
Clamps are recommended so that you can easily swap exhausts with just camps vs cutting and welding. But, if welding, make sure you get a good shop to do the work so there's no leaks.

So just to be clear that exhaust from a n55 will be good on my n54?

I can either: 1) install just the mufflers or 2) cut & replace the n54 resonator with the n55 xpipe together with the mufflers?

Here's a thread to help you see the difference between all types of PE setups.

You definitely need to replace that resonator with an x-pipe! Step 2 is what you want to do.

So i've finally had some time to make a couple vids.

Install wasn't too bad, I just did it myself.

I previously got rear ended, and when insurance fixed my right muffler, they just cut it off and replaced it. So when I was installing my mufflers I only had to cut the left side, since other side was cut already.

In both videos I've already had the AR Design catless downpipes and a DCI.

The first video will be with just the Performance Mufflers

The 2nd video is the xpipe that came with it (instead of stock, which comes with a resonator in the sedans) as well as the performance mufflers.

I'll try to get some more videos while I'm driving (sounds really mean when driving and when I shift theres a LOUD 'snap' 'bam' sound. LOTS OF GURGLING!!!!
