Well-built converters to fit many applications.
MagnaFlow Universal catalytic converters by Car Sound form the basic building blocks for many applications. The main benefit of universal catalytic converters is that one unit may cover a wide variety of vehicle makes and models.

They are extremely well made, with features such as:

* A ribbed body that minimizes expansion and distortion when the converter heats up. The ribs form a channel that protects the cushioning mat from direct exposure to exhaust gasses, and they hold the ceramic catalyst in proper alignment.
* A 1/2 in. lap joint where the necks meet the body. The neck does not extend into the converter body, where it could hamper exhaust flow.
* Manufactured with separate dies on different sized inlets. Putting larger neck sizes on smaller bodies would reduce the flow of the converter and the quality of the product.
* A monolithic honeycomb catalyst. The ceramic is designed for maximum flow and surface area. The coating method is strictly controlled to maintain exact specifications. An improper coating could result in flow restrictions or an emissions test failure.
* Seam-welded close to the converter body for a strong, tight bond. Welding along the edge could allow the converter to expand like the folds in an accordion, allowing the catalyst to move around.
* Heavier-gauge stainless steel, tip-to-tip. Other manufacturers use mixed weights and materials.
* An aluminized or stainless OEM-style ribbed heat shield that creates a rigid wall of protection against heat and adds to the structural stability of the converter.

Installing universal converters often requires the use of welding, cutting, and tube-bending equipment that is readily available to most professional installers.

it has some nice shit on it but i bet its been abused like kate525 at the firehouse.
do a 5 speed swap and have a really clean e30

with that spagetti mess of "mods" in the engine bay, I wouldn't touch that thing..

I dont know kate525, but blunt speaks truth if she is as much of a whore as that car most likely is. At first the list of mods made me think that you couldn't pass on those options. But a clean, stock e30 is pretty much worth more than its weight in gold to us. I say take the is, swap to 5 speed and make it what you want rather than deal with the shit-rigged crap from a previous owner.

lol i was going to buy both. go with the white one, seriously. i looked at both of them and the white one is a much better buy.

it has a nice "list" but most of those mods are a joke - AFPR? M30 AFM? narrow band AF gauge? intake kit for MAD HPZ? pass...

Is the car as nice as it looks in the pictures? How come you ended up not buying either one?

[MR 325]

2 grand for a 5 speed swap? Are you sourcing all new parts or something? Jon (E30yrsold) just sold a complete 5 speed swap for $250. Complete. That means everything you need from soup to nuts. Even if the average shop took 10 hours to complete it, you're still under $1000.

That modded car looks familiar, and I agree with Nando. Not very sano work. Post the link on that auto car; I might go buy it if you don't want it. :D

Tim

Yes, that's all brand new parts minus the tranny, driveshaft and flywheel. And it's probably about $1800.

[JiX]

^^ so that's a pretty good deal, right?

I might go buy it if you don't want it. :D

Tim

I'll let you know VacMan, thanks!

[JiX]

Hey guys, I didn't want to start another thread, so hopefully ppl will still look at this one.

Anyway, I found a 1989 325is tranny and here's what it includes.

"700$ for all includer tranny middle councel pedals flywheel clutch assamble and a shifter"

I'm not sure of the condition, but I'm waiting for the seller to reply. The car itself has 110,000 miles, so the tranny can't be that bad, right?

Is this a good deal?

[Grimm862]

Get the grey one that bitch is sick looking.

You know if you buy the auto youll never get around to the swap. It's a pain in the fucking ass. I think if it was cheap and easy theyre would be a whole lot more clean ass e30's. Cause Everyone I've ever seen that is super clean and stock are autos.

Fuck the swap. Let some grandma buy the white one.

[JiX]

^^ LOL thanks buddy.

You're right, priority is to make it look sick and clean. However, I will definitely do the swap knowing that it's safe. I know it's probably going to cost me as much as another car, but I'm willing to do it. Hope TNG doesn't have any hard feelings about me because I'm hoping to be one of their good customers.

[Grimm862]

lol, yeah the white one is super nice. DO it.

Where is it being sold? It seems a bit steep unless there are some new parts in there. If you are planning on having TNG do it, I'd PM or email Matt and ask his advice and assistance. They might be a bit sketchy on using used parts vs. new, or he might be able to offer insight as to the relative costs of the parts. Either way, doing the research beforehand is smart and will help you make the right decision.
