Ok, sorry about the confusion. I will try to get pics today.

All I know is that my car sounds like a harley, and one of the pipes that connects the exhaust to the engine is no longer connected. Hopefully the pics will help.

def. sounds like right where you would break a muffler bearing.

Yeah there was a group buy for muffler bearings a few months back, but lots of people dropped out because even with the GB, the bearings were $295 shipped.

My brother just bought a 89 325i and it needs a new muffler and both muffler bearings replaced. It's going to cost almost as much to replace everything as it did to buy the car! Right now the car sounds like a race car with straight outs.

You can always buy the cheaper ones made out of aluminum. They are lighter but don't last as long.

Call or email Patrick @ BMAParts.com he usually always has them in stock.

???? What are you talking about? My dealer has 5 in stock right now. They are expencive tho.

Well, BMW of North Scottsdale stocks M5s and Z4s, not E30 parts.

I thought palladium with a splash of osmium was used in them though.

shhhhhh, they are made out of Unobtanium << very expensive stuff, not to mention hard to get

I just paid 500 bucks for a single muffler bearing... they are EXPENSIVE! Made of something that I could never comprehend...

it is for sure your muffler bearings

Fuck, sucks for him.

sounds like you hit the muffler bearings more likely.

Yep, they tend to crack if they hit the ground. Any local dealer should have some in stock:D

You could not have hit a header off of your head. If you did you would have some other major problems.

Is your car louder now? I am assuming that it is. You most likely broke a weld up or cut a hole in the pipe. It is 100% impossible that the header got hit off.

Oooh, muffler bearings for those trick spinner tips?

I have never heard the term muffler bearings... must be a regional thing.

I read it as "When I scraped, the exhaust got pinched between the car and the ground, with enough force to yank one of the manifolds / downpipes off".

Look in your engine bay if you have not done so already... See anything wrong? How about under the car?

We need details!
