I just joined and saw this thread and am looking for an exhaust for my S52 E30 from the headers back. Any idea when there might be a deliverable? From the timeline of this thread, seems like it may take at least another year?

If you guys have Instagram and or Facebook you can follow the progress a little closer. Just got our kit from Cone Engineering so we can fab the first set of swap headers up.

Will update our Instagram and Facebook accounts with pics accordingly.
Flanges for headers? How about a slip on for the whole exhaust? Doable?

Gauging Interest: E30 24v Swap Complete SS Exhaust
Originally posted by RobertK View PostI think at this point we're doing away with the v-band setup just because there are too many variables that cause annoying exhaust leaks without being able to fit them exact to each car.
More than likely we're going to go with bolt up flanges but I can inquire about slip fit.
Well I didn't mean slip on exactly. I worked as a tech for BMW for a couple of years before moving on to a different manufacturer. When we replaced exhausts we would cut them and use extended band clamps like this
To hold the pipes together. OEM procedure, as long as the pipes are cut properly you'll have no leaks. I think it may be a more cost effective option? Plus save time on all the welding if the full exhaust used flanges. Maybe flanges for just the header side and the rest clamps?
