It's the magnaflow, buy a Vibrant and I promise you it will sound amazing! :D

I looked at your video on bfc and ya you have more rasp then anyone I've ever heard. When I ran my vibrant with just a straight through resonator in the middle it was too loud, but even cleaner then it is now. Magnaflow have fiberglass packing on the inside which is a poor design IMHO. Go to verociousmotorsports.com and buy the street power series vibrant muffler, I promise you that you'll like it.

The dual muffler setup is to keep the cops off my ass.

What is a good muffler design?

The one thing about the Vibrant is that it by itself is LOUD! I ran a straight through resonator before the borla, and it was pretty obnoxious.



Fixed.



Just spaced the passenger side motor mount by 3/16ths.

P.S save yourself a world of trouble and flatten the heat shield where the headers drop down to...otherwise the will touch be held against it.

Are you running e28 m5 mounts or the 535 mounts?

Vibrant performance! go to verociousmotorsports.com and find out! ;)

They aren't. The 535 mounts need to be shimmed in almost every install.

I just wanted to make sure he didn't have to shim M5 mounts since that's what I purchased for my upcoming S52 swap.

lol, i keep re-reading this but I'm having a hard time decoding it. What did you mean by that? damn polaks! :p

ninjaedit: did you mean "otherwise they will touch and be held against it" ?

[e30s52]

/\ It will rattle is what polak mean. I think. Basicly just bend it so it isnt touching the headers.

Oops, typical Polak mistake!

I meant to say: They will touch or be held against the heatshield/firewall, which wouldn't be ideal.

An z31maniac, we never shimmed the mounts. :|
