    You want an exhaust system or just something to replace the muffler?

        haha red e30's are the shit. I'm gonna post some sound clips as soon as i get my mp3 player back from a freind (it has a built in recorder).

        "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

          I'd rather have a real exhaust but my OEM one is free and sitting in my garage.

            Well looks like you already made a choice.... free vs spending money... I know how you are with money.... when you have it, it's gone and all the time you don't have it... :)

            You still running a cat?

              Yeah, my exhaust is full factory still. Are you selling an exhaust or something?

                I like the idea of fresh stock exhaust but replacing the cat/resonator with just straight piping and keeping the OEM muffler, I bet that would sound really good. But hell I'm really a fan of totally custom exhaust :)

                    Agreed, cat delete or custom.

                      I'll sell you drugs if you want...

                      I know you like your things clean.... but if you want to upgrade your exhaust why not do it... even though you have a factory system... I'm sure your cat is going to go sooner or later.... run a high flow cat (like my ETA) or another muffler (like my whitey) and then run a muffler of choice...

                      I think the E36 M3 exhaust is a nice idea... I don't think it's worth the hassle of fabbing something up....

                        Yeah, our CC autocrosses are pretty weak.

                        It's also a shame the camera guy only got that run (my 1st, practice run), by the end of the day I was going a lot faster and getting a lot more sideways in parts (usually for a better line in the tight stuff, sometimes for fun!).
