So my cat-back is rusted to shit.... Suggestions for a budget friendly replacement? Turner has a Bosal cat-back which sounds nice, but I think I need to fabricate a "Y" or something to work with my single pipe cat.... The only ones I see that come with a single pipe setup are Magnaflows, but I really can't drop down $600 right now.

In fact, I discovered today that there are heat shield things for my motor mounts that I didnt put on.....
Either way, keep at it. Sure you could leave non-essential parts out but you end up with ill fitments, rattling, etc., which when taken together separates some old beater car from a proper restoration.1991 318is Brillantrot daily driver (slow restoration)

RealOEM diagrams are your friend. I spend more time figuring out how to duplicate OEM routings/trim pieces than on anything else.

Decided to hit up a friend of my dad's who owns a muffler shop the next town over. I'll be hauling the bimmer sometime next week to be fitted with a new cat-back. I was going to order the Bosal kit from Turner and mod for the ETA single pipe, but after seeing the ~$200 shipping price, I decide to keep it local. Not sure what muffler they will be using, but generally they stock magnaflow or flow master. THEN I will be taking it in for smog. I'm hoping everything will pass... My county just requires the basic test.

Meant to upload this video earlier. Replaced the AFM boot that was rock hard. She's got a healthy "whoosh" now which previously was accompanied by a little hesitation. Chipping away with the improvements :)
