Who has the best sound coming out of their single pipe m20 exhaust system

[ROLLingKING]

Don't have it anymore

Long tube headers, 3 inch Y pipe, straight 3 inch all the way, single in dual out magnaflow 14815

Cost me 300$ for the hardware

i like the car man. im just not a fan of magnaflow mufflers. they sound kinda raspy or just bad in general to me

[ROLLingKING]

how do you guys get away with running no cat. In Delaware you go through the DMV inspection every two years on any car over a certain age. All E30's fall into that category. The first thing they look for when the smog the car is a catalytic convertor. They actually have a mirror on wheels that they roll under the car to get a visual on it. When we did my brothers exhaust we used a magna flow cat and stahl headers. He still has to come up with the dough for the cat back system.

in MD if you run historic tags there is no emissions. When I heard about how difficult it was to pass that shit out here I decided to register with historic plates. I went to the DMV, payed registration, got my plates and stickers and was on the road. Done. Therefore I can run straight pipe if i want to.

Some ppl say, well hey arent you only supposed to run like 2,000 miles a year on historic tags. Heres where i saw the hole in the system! On the form at the DMV to register a car it only asks for the milage if up to a certain number or age. one of them. I either didnt write down the current miles, or I told the guy it broke. Either way they have no way of knowing what the milage was when i registered it. I win

I say spin tech and a cat and or resonator. I had a spin tech no cat and a resonator and used to set of car alarms.

is it THAT loud from the outside? did u ever get pulled over for it being to loud?lol

[ROLLingKING]

yea i found monkey madness and the build. its 2 loud for daily i thnk. and i live in a development and constantly go out for 2/3am drives. about to leave now. hopefully i see no cops sliding around

imma have to go muffler. straight pipe would be nice, and that IS a good looking straight pipe set up but $300 is a bit much for chrome sound. no offense to the build cause it IS very clean and sounds good on their cars. its still a straight pipe setup to me. I wish cops didnt care about sound cause i would get it

[jaywood]

Monkey madness made this, hes on the forums. Also that is an s50 so your m20 wont sound anything like that.

Fixed ;)

[e30trooper]

Ive only seen monkey madness on a car once in someones build. i think it was kiliboy. it looked the best and it was single pipe with 3in twin pipes coming out the back i believe.



If i can find this i will buy asap

A resonator has nothing "packed" in it. A glasspack is usually packed with fiberglass or something of the sort. I've found glasspacks to be cheaper and a lot of people have had success with them, including me.

but does the glasspack being packed cause back pressure? im assuming not since its on your turbo m20. If they acomplish the same thing tho ill just cough up more for a resonator i think. I am reeally reeally trying to avoid raspy. im not sure if cheaper exhaust components actually cause rasp but i think they sometimes do. I wanna do it right once and only once if possible

[jaywood]

so is a glasspack the same as a resonator?

that was cool and all but whats the muffler and piping?lol im not really trying to see laps

Remus muffler with a 3 inch pipe from the stock headers back to the muffler

[bmwguy325is]

LOL Ya if i drove through an underground car park lil kids hid and ALL alarms went off. But yes I kept getting pulled over so I changed it.
