318is s50 exhaust/muffler

[blackhawkimpact]

I'm on my on getting an exhaust system for my 318is with a s50.
I'm thinking of using these mufflers and using the stock piping for now.
What you guys think? Will this setup be to loud?


I using trying to go with this route.

Stock piping for... an S50 or?

[blackhawkimpact]

From the 318is piping.

go like 3inch, single opening in valance, you will have to cut with a dual

I had basically the exact same set-up on my s52 car. Sounds awesome! :D

Took me a while to get the sound I wanted, but I always had the Vibrant at the end. They are loud mufflers, but worth it for the sound you get. No drone, and they scream up top!

You should just go single 2.5", it will flow better, be lighter, and make your life a lot easier.

Here are some clips: (my Vibrant was the same, except it was stainless)

You want to use the 318is piping? That's like 2.25" max, probably not an ideal size for the S50. Do yourself a favor and just get something custom made, forget using the stock 318is exhaust piping.

Actually it's more like 1 3/4", which will be WAY too restrictive. Don't cheap out on exhaust, it'll be another $100 for a properly piped, single 2.5".

^ Yeah, I got this idea from you actually, love the sound on your car.
How much would you charge for a setup if I bring those two mufflers?

Actually 318is piping is 2.25"

Are you guys using stock/aftermarket cats? I'm thinking of going with the center muffler but don't know if I should add a cat in the front.

[e30s50dan]

I went eBay headers 2.5 in pipe Y pipe(jegs)-cat(jegs)- borla muffler..cheap easy and sounds good. A little raspy.....damn eBay headers!

Dan, which borla are you running? Xr1? Proxs?
