is a new clutch needed

hey guys i have a stock 335i clutch and was wondering if i would need to get a higher stage clutch for just putting in a procede Rev3 and straight pipes. im doing straight piped only because i want the turbos to spool up faster.

thank you guys in advance.

A stock clutch in good shape should have no problem holding that power.

Straight pipes will be quite loud especially if you are removing the rear mufflers. You will also have quite a lot of drone in the cabin cruising. Just an FYI.

I'd recommend starting with downpipes, and maybe removing secondary cats while keeping rear muffler section. See how you like that sound first.

All I have is a Procede. I made 370rwhp, and my clutch slips in high gears unless im on the stock tune. Granted I bought the car with 29,000 miles so maybe the previous owner wore the clutch?? Not sure. I need to take it easy until I save up for a new clutch.
