you make me want to keep my m42

[Good & Tight]

^LOL... that's going to be tempting...

Glad I don't have to make that decision.

It's full win all around. He sends me his, I make a jig with it so the turbo mounts in the same exact position. No need for redoing anything. Will gain extra HP with a better flowing manifold Full win all around...!! Easy peasy buttchug squeezy.

Hey sorry if you already mentioned in your thread but what exhaust muffler is that?
I'm thinking about getting the same for my 318is!

cheers

youll likely have a hard time fitting such a muffler to a stock 318is exhaust.

Its a 24inch truck series bullet muffler. 3inch in 3inch out

It would be nice! but then I would have to re do my downpipe and IC piping to fit it.

Id also need one without the external wastage flange.


The worst part about whole thing is I have to un wrap my manifold. It was so nicely done :( and mani wrap is stupid priced.

Send me your crappy manifold and I can duplicate it so you don't have to change anything around.

^ Well, you're Polish so you've got plumbing skills built into your genes.

Truth. If I don't make my own.....Otisfold for sure :)

[Good & Tight]

yea but I pretty much chopped mine all up and built it the way i wanted. So my pipes route a little different.

to solve the issue I need to weld in a flex section to my down pipe. I think it happened when I came out of a parking lot and scraped my exhaust. Too much stress and it just snapped.

I had to add (well, have my exhaust guy add) quite a bit of gusseting to the mani to stop cracking. The weight of the turbo and downpipe was causing multiple failures. Now you could drive a tank over it. I've scraped/hit the exhaust many times since and not had any issues.

Send the whole project please, not just the msq. If you send just the file my Tunerstudio gets pissed off.

IMO the whole project thing is dumb. The config file should have everything you need. Its a PITA to look at a tune when you have to get the project files too. I don't see any benefit and I see a lot of PITA :)

Just my mini rant.
