Show your mufflers

[mazur]

That is such a sweet set up! What bank is your o2 sensor running in?

You can only fit an O2 in one of the locations on an E30. I've already tried.

Anybody run a flowmaster muffler? Or has anyone heard one on a Dohc 6?

[JeffRR]

My plan is dual 2.25's with an x-pipe and a dual in/out B&B muffler.

I'm dropping her off at the exhaust shop next week.

I'll post a vid once its finished.

So I finally got the car over to the fab shop for the exhaust yesterday, before I dropped it off I took a little video with the open headers.

So here's a little 2 wheel peel action:

My exhaust system.

eBay Supersprint copies
Short little connector pipe I had made locally
VSR E30M3 center pipe
Stromung muffler




When I first installed it, the muffler was way too quiet. After a couple hundred miles it cleared itself out. Now I'm very pleased with it.

Wow that is simply gorgeous! :pimp:

So I'm still looking for a 2.5" inlet with a dual outlet muffler...

Who wants to sell me their 24v swap exhaust?

[JGood]

I took mine to the local exhaust shop with open headers, gave them the muffler and cat, and told them to bolt something together with all stainless steel. This is what I got for $140 ($75 labor, $65 parts):











This was the single most expensive part of my swap. $140 for exhaust, $90 for the radiator, and $50 for the motor mounts. Everything else was free or traded for e30 parts I had laying around, including the motor. Best $280 I've ever spent! The exhaust sounds pretty good. You can barely hear it at idle, not overly raspy under load, but it does scream up top.

Ebay headers -> custom Y Pipe -> 2.5" single-> Magnaflow cat -> Borla ProXS muffler -> Hooker tip

Nice, I'm interested to hear it. Post an exhaust clip soon.

That looks gorgeous! Must sound real nice with the x pipe in the middle. How loud is it? Can't wait to hear it!

[loonibab325i]

Sorry for the shitty pictures.

Ebay headers > Y pipe (with cut out for o2 sensors) > 2.5" piping > to straight through muffler.









Overall: SOUNDS LIKE SHIT.. i'm really not liking it at all, it's way too raspy and just sounds like a fart cannon, gah! i'm going to put in a resonator and see how that works out, if not i'm re-doing the whole exhaust.

Loonibab325i -- That's almost exactly the same as my setup only mines a racecar! I have to wear ear plugs when I drive it to and from the track otherwise my ears ring for half a day. Sounds great when you're rowing through the gears on the track, but on the street it's gotta be way too loud.
