Nice! you will have the same exhaust setup I have on my car. Can't wait to see it done.

How loud is it and did you get a 14815/14816/etc or a universal without tips?

Beutyful

stunning engine bay

Yeah especially since I moved it back, fits nice and snug. Now if I could only get fuel so it would start!

Taking it to get exhaust tomorrow morning, getting bolt in cat/straight pipe off of the header, into single 3" back to probably a bullet style resonator into some sort of magnaflow. I want it as unmuffled as possible, but have to keep it under 90db's for auto-x

I can't believe you got the headers to clear!

It wasn't going to work until I moved the motor back.. I really didn't have to beat the firewall too much either, they fit so perfectly now. The control arm mount is definitely the biggest problem with the Stahls though, pretty sure the Bavauto long tubes clear it though

Everything is in, just chasing a some electrical gremlins and then it's time for exhaust





This might suck:

looks great,

you used the g265 in the e30 right? if you didnt then i think the shorter g265 e28 DS front half woould work perfect with a stock e30 rear and a g260. but if you used the g265 then the DS from the e28 will be too long...

i hope that made sense

e30+m30+g265+e28 g265 DS front half+e30 DS rear half = will not work

e30+m30+g260+e28 g265 DS front half+e30 DS rear half = sounds like it will fit like a glove

but seriously looking great

Yeah I used the 260 and my parts car had a 265. Hoping that will work

I want your Azevs. Such a cool project!

Thanks, don't think I'll be getting rid of them ever! I'd wanted a set since my first e30 days before i got these.

Looks great, the Azevs are perfect.

I'll never forgive you for parting that e34 though.

Yeah I mean I certainly regret every now and then, but it really wasn't quite as nice as people think it was or maybe I'm just trying to justify it for myself I dont know anymore lol.

Motor and trans are in the car. Still have a lot of finishing work to do and I need to find a driveshaft combo that will work. I had an e34 driveshaft out of my 535i/5 so I figured I was set, but I guess late 535i's came with different shafts because this one is completely different. Going to pull the driveshaft out of my e28 parts car tomorrow, but it had a 265 in it so I'm not sure that will work either, but we'll see. Headers should be back from the powder coater first thing next week, I'll be sure to add more pics then

I wanna see proof of this tendency

how I found my oil pump sprocket. Yes, it was a bitch to do while the motor was in the car.

[Jean]

I think E34 is a perfect 2nd car to an E30 ;)
