'i' exhaust on an 'e'

[bimmer_E30]

can i do that??? my e30 is so damn anoying with even a magnaflow exhaust i wanna go back to stock.

Yes; you'll need a y-pipe. Check out summitracing.com or your local muffler shop.

Are you just going to replace the muffler, or the entire catalytic converter section also?

[SpecM]

yes it is very possable, but way easier to replace the entire manifold-back settup

but don't expect any performance gains

[bimmer_E30]

yah i will do the entire manifold - back setup... no i dont want any performance gains i just want it stock not loud.

[Aptyp]

lol, i love my hole in the exhaust



It bolts up, no problems, make sure you have brackets at came on the I at subframe, trans, and hangers.

Your engine might liven up a bit with an "i" intake manifold and throttle body, too. Or so i've heard.

we will see.. i just don't want a loud exhaust anymore:p

[gearheadE30]

I feel ya. ;). I want mine quieter as well. I've got stock headers-high-flow magnaflow cat-resonator-magnaflow. It sounds pretty good, but it is really loud. I really don't know what to do about it...

I have full i exhaust on my e. I don't know if it's improved it at all (I got it that way), but it sounds pretty good.

Another cheap alternative might be to just ask an exhaust shop for the quietest muffler they have, problem is you're taking their word for it.

You could also get an ansa muffler for $250 from bavauto, they aren't very loud, and with the cost of a stock cat, will probably cost you less than a full i exhaust.

[bimmer_E30]

a full i exhaust should be less than 200 or somthing.

[Don Stevens]

Any muffler shop can put a resonator in your system, downstream of cat, upstream of muffla. That should take the bite out of the exhaust for less money than a stock i exhaust.

I put a full i exhaust on my es , just took the whole system off a junker. worked great.
