Pics of $119+60ship eBay install

[m_dudey]

I've got the stock obd1 exhaust manifolds to the stock obd1 cats/resonator midpipes and then to this exhaust. it's the $299 with free shipping on ebay. people seem to agree that it's the same as the $119 one with $60 shipping, which is the same as the Ireland engineering one.

Dittos give us a breakdown of what you ordered on Ebay to make this exhaust, does it have an H or X pipe connection in it? I want a cheap new exhaust from Ebay to finish out my M50 swap.

Will the stock E36 headers work or should I put something else on there to aid the swap?

I was thinking of going with something like this cause its dirt cheap and I can pick it up locally (no shipping)-->

Thx.

Is this a straight through design, chambered, or an "s" shape?

may as well update this thread with sound clips too

as promised, sound clips!

it's really really quiet! pretty much stock sounding. mine is mated with a s52 with stock 95 midpipes. I really hope it becomes a bit louder. no droning whatsoever in the car at any rpms. can barely hear anything.

run down the block, I think what you mostly hear is engine noise

I am going to pick this same exhaust up over the weekend so I will also post picture when I get it mounted.

dude, the link is there, do you realise that you even quoted the link?

Oh, haha, yeah...I see that now.

I thought you were talking about a member here, not ebay.

What guy? Who? Link? This is R3V, you KNOW to put links!

I think the spacing of the 2 tips is part of the oddness, too. Most dual tip exhausts are way closer together.

The last installed pic does look like a$$, but the others look decent.

*waiting on youtube sound clip*

I don't think you'd hear anything, but I guess if enough people want me to put one up, I will. I think I'll wait maybe a week to let it break in a bit. see if it changes at all.

It looks to be the same exhaust. Perhaps your tips were not welded in correctly and that seller is selling factory blems for dirt cheap. I paid over $400 for mine from carr industries a few years back. They do get louder after the first year.

I recently got the ansa exhaust from azautohaus for about the same shipped price. Not nearly as shiny, but it looks like it'll work. I'll post pics when I finally install it.

this guy has some pretty good pictures of the more expensive ebay exhaust. now that you have the cheaper one, do you see any differences? is it the same thing?

was thinking about it, and i think one of the reasons the exhaust looks odd is because the tips arent cut at 45 degrees like the original ones. i think this would help.

It's really hard to tell from the pictures. It looks very similar....but I couldn't be sure.

got it http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...Q5fAccessories

Yes, thats the one. This is why I put the cost+shipping in the title. (so it would be very clear which one I am talking about)

As of now it is quite pointless for me to post sound clips. You wouldn't hear anything. If at any point it changes, I will post the clips.

Anyways, with all the questions about eBay exhausts, I thought it would be appropriate someone made a semi-detailed post about one of them with pictures. Hope this helps some of you in your decision making process.
