Was a bit sceptical initially, as the underside of the rear bumper is fully shrouded with black plastics. Since it's a hatch, wasn't sure if the extra pipings for the right can be accommodated in such tight spaces. Plus, there wasn't any 1er on the road that I've seen with dual-exhaust setup. But yesterday cannot tahan already, since not working and had nothing to do, I went to an exhaust shop in Bandar Sunway and got it done!Was offered TIG welding, which produces nice and original looking piping joints. But TIG takes 2-3 days. MIG can be done in a few hours time. Since I can't live without my ride, I opted for MIG welding.So here goes:<img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0225.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Bumper on the right side was measured and marked with black paint. To be trimmed to make way for the right tail pipe.<img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0226.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Trimmed. Plastic covers underneath removed. Original muffler cut off.Custom-made Y-piping. From here, the gaseous waste is channelled into two pipings.<img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0227.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0228.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Negotiating in the left box.<img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0230.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0231.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0232.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Left side done, now onto the right side:<img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0234.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Almost done. Have fun tracing the direction of exhaust flow from the Y-piping:http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0236.jpgFinalising, closing all spots.http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0239.jpgPlastic covers re-installed back, holes cut to accomodate the new right exhaust piping:http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0241.jpghttp://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0240.jpgThey too, found the new mod sexy. LOL! Upskirt pic snapping frenzy:http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0243.jpghttp://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/IMAG0223.jpgOriginal 120i muffler for safekeep, just in case something goes bonker. Would probably make way to the WTS section <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Next upgrade would be with these items:http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/30569.jpghttp://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/kangkai82/20137.jpg</p></blockquote><p></p>
