E46 M3 Rear Silencer Problems

in BMW M Power Forum

Hi,

New to the forum so forgive me if this is in the wrong place!

I've just fitted a heartbreaking £1250 worth of rear silencer and intermediate pipe to a customers E46 M3 due to the clamps corroding away and eventually breaking.

Due to the way the exhaust is made you cannot replace the clamps (clamps are put on the exhaust and then flanged over at factory).

I've taken the measurements of the new clamps prior to fitting the new exhaust to the car and was considering having modified clamps made so I can replace just the clamps rather than the rear silencer and intermediate pipe (I have many customers with the same problem on their E46 M3s, including my sons!) saving the customer bucket loads of money!

rather than having a small batch made, I was wondering if there would be any demand for such a thing on here?

Feedback would be great!
