          Oh you fancy, huh. Looks nice though, I'm personally on a hunt for a Remus to go with my recent changes of the 3.46 LSD.

            Here, buy it so I dont have to




            I'm cheap tho so Im not buying that Supersprint either... I also dont want to patch a POS OEM muffler, so I dunno

            It looks like if I want a "bolt-on" its going to cost $500+ or I can go to a muffler shop and pay a fraction of that, but roll the dice on quality of repair. Also, the closest dual in & out muffler Ive found is a flowmaster and it has 2.25" In&out which is half an inch bigger than the OEM pipes. Im going to go talk to a place Ive used before and see what it will be.

                Nope, thats most likely the one Im going to go with. Err wait flowmaster. I did find a Borla that is also a dual in & out with 2.25" openings, but summit says it will ship on Nov 27!? Im going to call them tomorrow and see what the deal is. I think the Borla would sound better

                    I think Im going to continue to drive like a maniac, maybe step it up a little more on the sharp turns to see if I can drop that muffler like a banana in mario kart

                        The 2nd car is a convertible with no top and headlights that don't currently work. I have no time to work on it until after this weekend when I'm done with my current semester. Hence why I'll be driving the E30 ... until ( and after)the muffler falls off lol

                          1. I'm also 24v, so that little Remus won't work for me.
                          2. Let me suggest I.E. exhaust for abut $300+, maybe a little quiet, but nice bolt on and stainless.

                            You should get that super sprint then. Either way though, a 24v will need a custom setup of some sort. Are you still dual all the way back or did you conver to a single?

                            Its no secret that the IE setup is a chinese mass produced exhaust. There used to be an eBay seller that had one for cheaper than their $300 price, but my most recent search found that the same seller was now asking $1000 for the same exhaust

                            If I end up buying a bolt-on, semi quiet setup, I am actually leaning towards the Ansa that ECS is selling. Neither system is particularly "loud" which is both a good and bad thing...



                            We'll see how it all shakes out though. If these people who are supposed to buy some of parts actually come through, then my budget will be a little higher. If not then I will likely go to a muffler shop and end up with a magnaflow or flowmaster welded up to the stock setup.

                              Depends if you have it "internet rebuilt" or actually replace parts. The parts for these transmissions get expensive. I just spent $800 on parts alone for mine and it didn't need any new synchros or gears. ;) If you need a guy to do a top notch trans rebuild feel free to PM me.

                                ^ill take u up on that. my stuff just started to be ultra hard or impossible to get into gear.
                                all gears... so i'm going to bleed the clutch and see if it need oil first. 1000-1500 i have no problem with that. Can't even find m30 5spd at the junkyards anymore.
