You're like me Josh, I have literally had 5 different mufflers on my S50 E30.

Let me guess... the first four sounded like farts?

F you guys. I ran 3 borla xs mufflers. Still loud as balls. Even with the redic turbo

Well, good news and bad news, at least from the standpoint of putting the motor back in this weekend. The good news is the ceramic coaters called me, and they said that they were able to sufficiently blast the insides of the headers, meaning they will be able to get it to stick, and I'll be able to get the inside/outside coating done. Bad news is, he doesn't think they'll be done by Friday, since he's down one guy for the whole week and has been scrambling to pick up slack. He said if he can, he will go in Saturday for me and finish them the hold up is the insides have to be coated/baked first, and then the outsides.

damn that sucks, but good news though!

[dnick]

yes, exact same muffler:p

oh you still have it you say?

I do, pm me and it's yours ;)

Dear sweet Mary and all the saints in Heaven. Headers came back from ceramic.













Full inside/outside ceramic coating. I think I might be one of the first people to make a set of these headers worth a damn. :up:

[Wishno87]

Are you going to install the headers before or after you drop the motor in?

[dnick]

oh lordly lordly. look at that. just look at that.

[Jand3rson]

Are you going to install the headers before or after you drop the motor in?

Before. We installed them before we installed it the first time. Makes things SO much easier. Plus, with them being a single unit now, installing them after the motor is in would be nearly impossible.

btw, janderson.. im pretty sure we have the same headers... let me know how they fit under there with that y pipe.. i want to do the same thing

Good I was worried you would have to chop them up to install them if forgot about that. Otherwise they have to be installed piece by piece from under the front of the engine with the engine mount arm removed.
