Got my mid pipes today, I tried hooking up some crush bent that ran to the muffler section to see if it would be driveable, well its not.

So here it is!

Where you gonna plug in the O2 sensor?

Looks really nice! :)

[equate975]

Thanks

If I use an o2 its going to be in the xpipe, since OBDI only has 1 o2 I need it to get a reading from both manifolds.

Its not worth it unless you are swapping into an m3.

If you drop a m/s/50/2 into any other e30 you can use the pipes from an e36 exhaust. It would run about $150 on ebay for the midpipe and cats, but you can sell the cats as scrap for about $50 each.

The problem I have been told with using those pipes on a m3 is that it hits the sway bar. I have not tested it because I didnt have an e36 exhaust handy.

I had the guy that does all my machine work do them from scratch. I think I paid about ~$110 total for them. But there was a some money thrown down to have him cut and reweld it until I could get them positioned exactly right. Gets a bit hard when I test it on my car, go drive 5 miles to his shop, then try to get it welded right, bit flying blind.

I thought you did the cutting and rewelding, that's my problem too, I can't do that stuff.

I kind of do have an E30 m3 under the shell of my swap. The 318is is good and all, but it's all been removed, I've got a complete E30 m3 undercarriage from subframes to steering rack to sways. I start tackling the exhaust next week.

I can definatly get them made, I am sure he can replicate it. Its just not going to be super cheap.

You have to have a good welded to do stainless, something even if I could weld very good, I wouldnt not be able to do anyways.

I've got another route I'll be taking I think, thanks anyway. Have you finished the rest of the system yet? Got any sound clips?

[equate975]

No, we just got 5 inches of snow so I cant drive it to an exhaust shop to see if they can do it now.
