Exhaust Shop Recommendations?

[f4tj0n]

Im planning out my exhaust for when the S50 is in. Any recommendations for shops in the Bay Area? Anil from Auto Analysts in Castro Valley suggested Minute Muffler in Dublin.


As of right now, I'm thinking two options:

Stock S50 Manifolds --> Mated to stock 325i Exhaust (Would this be okay for smog?)

Raceland 4pc or Longtubes OR ebay $100 headers --> Vibrant Y-Merge 2" in to 2.5" out --> 4 45* SS bends from Summit --> Vibrant 2.5" Single In/Dual out (Of course not smog legal)(Maybe a resonator in between)

Any suggestions or fitment tips would be nice.

THANKS!

You want AT LEAST a resonator or a mid-muffler. The Vibrant is a loud muffler, I ran mine without anything in the middle at one point and it was obnoxious.

Ebay SS Reps > single 2.5" > Borla XR-1 mid muffler > Vibrant Street Power:
