Show your mufflers

[1991 e30 bmw 318is]

solid as in no flex pipe? I have a few joints in mine with no flex pipe

ya i'm not putting a flex pipe in just wondering if that's ok. ill make a flange on the end of my headers to bolt the exhaust on.

it doens't hurt to have one, but i just dont think its all that necessary on rwd car since the exhaust is inline with the engine.

I'm just curious, anyone try the ebay exhaust for the e30 or e36? They look decent for the price. I would think the e30 kit would be good for a m50b25, maybe? The e36 kit might be better. Anyone using either?

I guess you could spend the same money and make a similar exhaust maybe better and cheaper.

edit: NVM after a little research on bimmerforums I will stay away from the e36 ebay exhaust.

theres a borla oval race muffler where the stock gas tank was

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.

Why no X pipe? I don't see why everyone wants 2 pipes all the way back with no x or H pipe. The set up pictured does not promote exhaust scavenging.

I just purchased a vibrant from verocious. arrived in the mail a couple of days ago. i chose this brand based mostly on this thread. i decided on the all black model 1149. i would have actually preferred the tips to be stainless, but i didn't want the entire muffler to be shiny. just my personal preference. i checked out the links you posted above, they both look fine, but it appears that the mufflers you chose have a single 2.5 inch inlet. I don't know what the rest of your exhaust is like, but if you are running 2" duals until after the cats, wouldn't you be better off bumping that up a half inch and running a single 3" to your muffler? also, vibrant recomends running resonators upstream of the muffler if you don't already have them.

my setup will be running the front half of the stock mz3 roady enhaust with cats, resonators, and all four o2 sensors. after resonators, i plan to transition to a single three inch back to my muffler. in the case of the stock mz3, after the cats/resonators, there are 2.5" duals back to dualy mufflers. my thinking is that if the stock system runs dual 2.5's back to two factory restrictive mufflers, woudn't a singe 2.5 be a little bit small?

good luck with whatever you decide

don't do it. 2.5 if you're staying n/a, or go with smaller duals.

i'm changing mine out for duals soon.
