[dnick]

damn that sucks, but good news though!

[Jand3rson]

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.

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

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?

Single 2.5" in/single 2.5" out? Oh well, too late now.

If you told me you wanted the pro-xs I have a brand new inbox one that I would have let go for much cheaper than new!

The UPS man bringeth the final piece of the exhaust puzzle today:



And the headers went in yesterday at 7am, so they should be done by the end of the week. All I'm waiting on is new exhaust manifold gaskets, a new power steering fluid reservoir, and the motor goes back in on Sunday.

Just ordered my Borla center muffler. Now as soon as it gets here, and the headers come back from ceramic, the motor is going back in, and this new exhaust system can be built!

Nice work josh, I need to replace my seal on Oil housing cause its seeping. and fix a PS leak. Props for wanting the swap to be right :)

[Jand3rson]

For ceramic, I think it's mostly a few different silvers and greys, I just don't want anything bright and shiny, probably going to just go with like a deep grey/anthracite.

The only thing I can't decide on yet is a color.

What are your color options in exhaust worthy coatings?
