          Wish i could get my hands on an s54 at a decent price in Australia. All we have access to is GM v8's because every bloody person drives a commodore :'(

                    The reason I am asking is because originally on mine I fitted the muffler from a S50 B32. I wanted to be as close to BMW (sound & looks) as possible but on the dyno we found out that the muffler was "chocking" the engine so I had a custom one made. Now the engine breaths right but the sound is really loud and I do not like it. Do you have any suggestions?

                      The Stromung is nice sounding. It's loud but not obnoxious. I have headers and full 3" single exhaust with a cat and the it hits the muffler with dual pipes. I will try to get a pic and sound clip for you

                        I do not want it to be loud. I want the sound to be as stock/OEM as possible and it seems that I am not going to find the muffler to do that.

                          I was looking for some inspiration and found this thread though the link for images was broken. I found them on the wayback machine and hosted them here: http://imgur.com/a/oInXx

                            Beautiful build man. The S54 is such a beautiful engine. It's too bad it's a whole lot easier to swap an lsx for us Californians. I would rather have this than an ls!
