[kronus]

Ok, well do you WANT money? Go get that subframe and resell it.

ha of course i want money. but that person has been trying to sell it for a while..meaning no one locally wants the rear subframe? doesnt have the front i believe.

[Edev]

so could it?

[smonkbmw]

you can not use the downpipes off of a 4 cylinder e36.

[Edev]

you can not use the downpipes which is what you need.

dayum. well, not sure if this matters or not..but josh and the un named told me last night that my cat is fried? but if my cat were fried..wouldnt the noise be consistent through out the whole time and not die out after its warmed up?

Use the money that you were going to spend on the exhaust and buy the subframe. That's worth an easy $250..

no one around here wants to buy just the rear subframe..that person has been trying to sell it for a while, through different posts..so i see it as just wasting my money on that, hoping someone needs to by just the rear SF. know what i mean? i know its a steal at $80..but its needs over wants as of right now.

Dude, put it on your car.

E36 M3 front end stuff isnt that expensive. It can be had pretty cheap if you shop around. It would be pimpy.

By the way-- for what it's worth, this is a lot harder to come by than the front end stuff. It would be worth it at that price just to stash back for when you find a buyer or find time to complete it.

I really dont care as much as my post here probably makes it seem. I just know that if it was for sale in NC it would be gone in seconds.

how do they know its fried? did they take it off the car and inspect it? you have to remember, josh has his dad work on his car for him and dr.dipshit spray paints car parts all day. they are not techs, nor am i. but having them estimate whats wrong with your car is like getting mayhem a date, its just not gonna work.

is your car running weird? the things those 2 morons dont know and guess at might cost you more than its worth.

but if things are changing after the car is warmed up then that is a possibility. since i havent heard your car i can not tell you. midas or meineke will put your car on a lift and can tell you whats wrong for free as a estimate.

ha. well, i dont want to put it on my e30 because the rear would be 5 lug (dont have time to swap) and the front would be a 4 lug. id have to go buy brand new rotors and pads and wheels for just the rears. i'm not looking to buy anything except for an exhaust right now (that kinda made me sound like an asshole..oh well lol). being in HS and working, paying the bills i have..i dont have extra money to spend on nearly anything :( actually anything at all.

joe told you he had a couple manifolds and downpipes available. no good?

lol. im not gonna lie, this made me lol. but i went over to joshs house and started my car and it sounds like ass. i visually cannot see the crack (if there is one) on the flex pipe area. then they said my cat is fried. possibility;yes since my o2 sensor is shot. at the part i underlined. and matt, i know youre reading this so theres no need to text me about it. its all fun and games.

and mine isnt really running all that weird..except for the normal things like the TOB and now this exhaust problem.

i went to this place on NE fourth plain. iras muffler shop. he put it up on a lift and i told him whats going on..he just said i have to replace the whole piece? as in from the manifolds back.
