Updated exhaust setup

[lifeiskaos]

Are you running e28 m5 mounts or the 535 mounts?

im pretty sure they're the same...

[z31maniac]

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.

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?

Which ebay headers did you go with? There's so many different ones!

[e30polak]

How bad do you think your setup would be without the center muffler, compared to my current vid?

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.

So it goes 2 off the headers to a single 2.5 to NO CAT, then borla, then to a single in dual out VIBRANT

Fixed.

Did you have trouble with fitment regarding the ebay headers? I'm looking to choose an exhuast set-up soon so I can get my ecu tuned...

(btw, thats not the euro replica headers right? pardon my ignorance <-- pretty clueless when it comes to options still)

Wow sounds really good. Sounds alot similar to mine but I have alittle more rasp to mine.

I know, I like the little bit of rasp that it does have. I think if you run the magnaflow you have in the middle, and a vibrant like mine at the end it would sound great!

[loonibab325i]

dude that rasp in your video is nothing!
