Ansa exhaust for 325is

[n12frost]

i never noticed rust but when the muffler is installed on streight pipes and headers its very raspy..just my 2 cents..

I bought and installed an Ansa on my vert - it was on there for over two years - never showed ANY signs of rust on it.

PeaveyBassist bought it off Scotty when Scotty got the vert, and he still has it.

I just received from the UPS man another ANSA from fap99 to go on my track-mobile.

They have a nice sound, are fairly priced, and I have no concern about rust - the car is rarely driven, and never in the bad weather.

oops...wait dont listen to the last post..lol...i ment to say that if you put headers with streight pipes and an ansa muffler on it. it will sound very raspy like a weak honda..sorry guys

im not bothering to ready all of the posts all i have to say is that if you decide to do any after market headers and streight pipes it will sound like a weak honda and really raspy...speaking from experice my self..looking to buy new muffler right now. well a used one im broke after spending all that money on headers pipes and install.

What are talking about? My Open 2.5 exhaust without a muffler sounds awesome, it doesnt quite sound like a small block but definately not something weak, and there is no rasp at all. A few of my friends said "It sounds scary, especially coming up from behind you" "That sounds pretty mean, but I cant figure out how that sound is coming out of that car". Yes I plan on putting my ANSA muffler back on but the weather hasnt co-operated and the guy that has my muffler at his house has been busy. But I didnt spend $50 total, on 2 4ft sections of 2.5in steel pipe, 2- 45 degree mandrel bends, and the o2 sensor bung; and thats enough to do everything from the manifolds back. A magnaflow muffler can be had new for $70.

I have an ansa exhaust and I havent had any problems with rust sound is quite when your driving like your grandma is a passenger and aggressive at the same time when you lay into the loud pedal.

I would suggest you change your driving style if you want better mileage rather than look at spending money on an exhaust.

I have an ansa exhaust off a 91 325ic and i like it much better than the rusted magna flow that was on the car when i bought it..sounds nice, could be louder but im satisfied with it for now...it performs good no rust and i actually have pimpass gas mileage 20 city/33-35 hwy

i love the way e30s roar

the stock exhaust (Ebersprecher) is already cheap, don't waste money on ansa crap.

+1

Don't get the Ansa, spend the extra money and get a decent catback.

Id pony up for the IE myself, but my buddy rocked an ANsa for 3 years daily through NE winters, and it still performed like a champ, no serious rust problems.

[golde30]

pony up the $375 and get yerself an IE SS exhaust...

i have an ansa on mine. its been on 2 years and its rusting really really bad. It started as a crack nowi have a hole the size of a tennis ball

[matte30is]

I have the ansa oem replacement, sound is still the same and I couldnt tell a performance gain(probably a decrease lol) but my stock muffler was rusted out. I'm looking to get a triflo. A kid here in town has one and it sounds amazing.
