Custom exhaust cost?

[1990m3]

I spent about $600 for parts including AA track pipe, magnaflow cat, muffler, and SS tubing -- Single 2.5" from AA trackpipe (just the downpipe part). Welding was free, done by me

I haven't even installed it yet. I had read that Stromungs are quiet and I thought "stock" quiet. I did some snooping around in Youtube and found some vids of Stromungs...

I have a Stromung on my S52. I had a UUC System U before that, which had the most irritating drone ever. Had to pull it off after only 100 miles, I don't know how people tolerate them.

One word of caution is that it barely fits. Trying to get it tucked into the opening in my M-tech II kit I had to notch one of the rails on the trunk.

The Stromung is a nice exhaust for the engine, but I wouldn't call it quiet by any means. My downpipes are OBD-1 with a custom Y pipe instead of the restricted merge - so maybe that adds to it a bit.

^^headers will make it louder than OBDI pipes for sure.

Nice, this is encouraging. The VSR pipes are pretty damned impressive looking. Tiny little cats! Someday, when this car is done, it will sound pretty good.

the vsr is a nice piece, i run it on my m3 (still has an s14). It has great ground clearance and is totally reliable. I've had it for about 4 years and never had an issue, great piece
