**CLOSED** Strömung Catback Part 3! 318i/is and 325i/is (Nov 15)

Is the whole thing stainless? The website says it's just muffler and tip.

Whole thing from what i can tell.

[C.J.]

Its stainless steel and really tame sounding. Not loud at all just sounds good

The whole thing is stainless. If you keep the factory cat it will not be very loud at all.

Even after gutting my factory cat its still not super loud. Its perfect imo with the cat gutted

What part of Canada are you in? If close to the GTA we can put shipping together and pay less.

Hey guys, unfortunately something's come up for me and I have to peel out of this buy.

However I will happily still manage the group buy, comunicate with Scott and continue updating the list etc as the thread moves forward.

You can pull me out of this group buy as well - I've decided to go a different route!

For anyone interested in the angled Strömung cat back, the ones shipped this past spring are not angled enough for an mtech1 rear valance.

Here was Scott's original angled tip prototype on a car with mtech2 valance


Here's @tvance306's car with an mtech1 rear and the angled catback


Scott's offered some adapter tips, but they are single wall (the angled cat back is also single wall).
Here's the background info on that.

@tvance306 and I have been working with Scott at Strömung. Tom will be trial fitting some new tip adapters next week once he has his car back from the interior shop.

Here's the classic Strömung currently on my vert. It has double tips which stick out straight from the back of the car, even though they look angled relative to the muffler



Here's the angled Strömung catback like the one Tom trial fitted with his Mtech1. It came with single wall tips. Tips look straight off the car, angled when mounted. Unfortunately they're not angled enough.


These are the adapters Scott sent him. We're to cut off all but 2" of the angled tips and clamp these adapter over the remaining portion.

Note they are single wall, not double wall


Once Tom confirms the adapters work I'll try once again to get Scott to make double walled versions. I really don't want to lose those tips.

UPDATE

@tvance306 modded his cat back and will be installing on his car soon.

here's the tips cut off


and the new slip on tips mounted. he hasn't tacked them in yet.
