I always use a flathead and press as hard as i can in the direction it's supposed to go lol. i remember reading DIYs for doing the blower and getting scared of the clip, but every time i've done it, it was stupid easy.

Input and output seal for tranny ordered. 50$ worth of hardware also :)

EDIT: also a Blower motor (new) and 2 new control arms

So were all good then. Does SuperSprint or remus sell just muffler, or only cat backs?

[gregslow318i]

I get that.

Having heard the e36 exhaust note on a stock muffler it's a bit raspy and "high pitched" for my tastes. If anything, you'll end up with a nice throaty but fairly loud exhaust setup if you do it "proper". But, if you can't do 2 1/2" all the way back, "i" exhaust is a fantastic, cheap solution for an s/m/50/52 setup.

told you would come to like it....

Exactly, That shit is mean. I use it to clean engine bays.
You can get one of them vibrating bowls from harbor freight that has the stones or whatever in them. I dont know what they are called.

Tumbler?

I got the middle-back section of an E36 M3 exhaust with the stock muffler for mine, just going to have some pipes welded up with a universal high-flow cat to go from there up to the headers, shouldn't cost much at all.

I just think the e30 exhaust is to small for the M50. I would rather fit the e36 exhaust and know its big enough and still get the OEM sound.

[ck_taft325is]

Is it a e36 or e30 exhaust? The e30 exhaust pipes are way to small for any 24V and choke it I think.

Nah, on my S50 I'm running stock 325i cat back currently and it's passive and mellow. It doesn't get attention but then again, this is r3v so that might be out of the ordinary. I enjoy the mellow, civilized feel of the stock e30 cat back with the massively mean engine bellow when you open it up.

As for restriction, I don't think on an M50 it'll matter much.

[White325is]

So your going to gut the OEM converter? Does it have a custom cat back now?
