Exhaust Sound and set up

[bmwlover]

Hi Everyone. I'm currently doing a S52 swap, and am wondering if anyone can post their exhaust set up, as well as a clip of what it sounds like. Thanks

collector right off the obd2 headers into a 2.5" single pipe all the way back. Magnaflow 18" muffler in the center finishing with a vibrant black streetpower muffler dual 3" tips.

It keeps a nice low growl sound when you're tooling around. Not loud at all. No drone on the highway. Just enough sound so you can hear it while you drive, but not obtrusive at all. It's a good compromise for a sporty sound thats daily drive able.

obd2 headers and stock downpipe, cut before stock resonators. Y-pipe installed with 2.5 vibrant ultra quiet resonator and vibrant 2.5 muffler.

Decent noise, no rasp at all. Ill need to keep it under 3.5k to keep it quiet, but when opening up, it sounds great.

This is my m50 with eBay headers to a vibrant y-pipe to a 2.5" vibrant resonator to a 2.5" muffler.https://instagram.com/p/wnPIzTivUh/

Just don't do what I did and try to fit the entire E36 exhaust system under there with the Ebay headers. It sounds super nice, a little drone at higher RPMs which is getting sorted out. Its now dumping after the headers because I went full ricer and went over a tall speed bump, pulling the cat section off of the headers.

Just do it right the first time and tuck it nicely under the car. The e36 midsection does not fit close to the car. E36 catbacks are fine, but not perfect.

Exhaust System: Complete stainless custom-fabbed system: Supersprint replica stainless long tube headers to V bands, attaching custom dual 2" stainless mid piping with a Magnaflow dual in dual out cat, to another set of V bands attaching an Active Autowerke E36 cat-back. Holes cut and O2 bungs welded in the header downpipes.
