for sure!

I have full E36 325iS downpipes/cat

used one from the donor car, or new?

(as in, if i buy an e36 m50tu car and move everything over, do you think i'll be okay?)

[2mAn]

that should be fine, Im using a hodge-podge of mixed and matched parts to be "OBD1" compliant, but its all OBD1 parts, so... best best is if you can pick up a complete parts car

Im considering buying a early model 4 door with bad paint.... I blame Nate

I blame me too, sorry about that

yeah, that's my plan. i'm moving next month so i'll have a garage again, '93-95 E36s are cheaper now than all of the donor parts used to be, and using that platform gives me an upgrade path to the engine i eventually want to build, after i've already done the happy dance for CARB and only need to take the thing to the corner smog shop going forward.

what i was worried about is the ref bouncing me for having a used cat in the swap. i know the rules are "you have to have all of the emissions equipment from the donor car", and that means an old OEM cat *should* be okay, but i've heard some of them just decide to be dicks about random shit.

[2mAn]

I think most people use headers and random crap exhaust because the E36 downpipes hang kinda low, I know mine do. I plan on re-doing my entire exhaust system once Im done with the "Happy dance"

i already have the THR lollipops on my car, so i'm hoping i'm good there, at least while using stock M50TU parts.

This bickering is pointless. Now lord golde30 will provide us with adjustments to his sig. We will then crush this '15 with one swift stroke.

Thats what I have too. My M3 CABS interfered.

[kronus]

did they interfere by an inch or a few mm? I'm hoping to squish the downpipe.

Hit it with a hammer.

[kronus]

come here and hit it with a hammer

[phreshkid]

I did some hammering to make mine fit.

I passed BAR with stock cast manifolds, stock midpipe with correct cats, and a Stromung Catback exhaust.

Referee made me change out the obd2 exhaust manifolds back to obd1 manifolds since I was running it through the system as a 95 m3 engine.

It worked.

Fuck that BAR nonsense. Just smog it in Mexico aka east San Jose.
