    3 inch exhaust setups...center resonator/muffler and rear muffler

    I'm looking for a really low euro sound. Louder than stock is okay but nothing crazy. I have basically an s52 engine stuffed into an m50 block. I was thinking about a borla center and rear. Any suggestions? Also whats the longest center muffler you guys have ran?

    borla... :D

    neither of my mufflers are especially long, but other than a rumble at idle, it's actually pretty quiet.

          I LOVE the sound of the magnaflow 14816 SS exhaust about 190 shipped on ebay.

          It should sound spot on if your motor is what it says.

            that magnaflow has a single 2.25" inlet. We're discussing man-sized exhaust. So if he wants to cram a potato in the ass of his S52, he could run your muffler. ;)

                      Not my muffler, I am planning on running 3" straight pipe no cats and a single glasspack. It is not on yet because I am in the middle of the engine swap.

                      But that exhaust sounds amazing and would be better then what came on the M3 stock.

                        no, it wouldn't. 2.25" is overall smaller than the stock dual pipes.

                            2.5" is fine, I just wanted mine future-proof. :)

                              I am talking about the exhaust note... and the Borla might be the better route if 3" is a must, it is also cheaper too.
