91' 318is S52 Swap "The Beast"

Alright! Exhaust parts are ordered, everything but donuts and hangers anyway, still have to figure that out.

Ended up going with Vibrant stealthpower muffler and Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator. This setup should give me the sound I'm looking for!


So the exhaust setup is like this
2.5" piping from exhaust manifolds-->Magnaflow 2.5" dual inlet to single 3" outlet---VBand Clamp--->3" single to Vibrant Ultra Quiet 3" inlet/outlet-->3" piping to Vibrant Stealth power muffler

Want to hear his in a good video. Please do this. Mods I know we had exhaust thread at some time ago with sound clips can we do a new one since when the old one died we had stebro's and stromungs and now there are many new exhausts.

Took out some tar today. Will clean it up more eventually


Also put a new antenna grommet on since the old one was non existant.

Looks like its going to fit nicely below the driveshaft.

Which header flange are you gonna use for to make the downpipes?
