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

[F34R]

the only 3" in/dual out mufflers have really wide spacing on the dual out. Not really good for a final rear muffler.

you could do vibrant instead

I love dual tips and vibrant makes some nice stuff, but nothing really in dual in or outlet. I really cannot find what I have in mind. I LOVE the Remus dual design, but they only go up to 2.50 and no dual inlet. So I am leaning towards making my own.

Edit: Just got off the phone with my friend at Magnaflow, we talked over my setup plans and I am going 2.5 dual in and outlet. So I am running dual 2.5 piping from headers back no cats to a duel in/outlet muffler.

If I don't like I will weld on a proper SS exhaust. Not hard to cut back and install one. I am on the phone right now with Magnaflow, so we will see what they have in 3" inlet.

it's going to sound like ass.. but it's your car. *shrug*

also, straight 3" with no cat and a glasspack is going to be pointlessly loud, with no benefit. add 2 mufflers and a cat, it will flow plenty and not be annoying.

I have the same setup on my DD with 2.5, I honestly love the low rasp. It is not annoying at all, sounds a bit meaner then my friends E46 M3. So I think the 3" on the M50 will be nicer then the 2.5 on the m20.

But that will be tackled in the summer time, I have yet to buy the straight pipe for it. So I will see if I can get dual 3" all the way back with how low I am going.

Found this thread a long time ago when I was poking around for exhausts. Might help you.

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

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.

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

Here's my Borla/Dynomax setup: http://209.147.122.140/board/showthr...=nandos+recipe

Excuse the fact that it's not manly 3"...

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.
