Good system, Ugly muffler

[4do E30]

So here's my dilemma, I have a fresh 2 1/4 inch catback exhaust on my 89 325i. I love it, it sounds decent but the only problem is that the muffler is uggllllyyyyyy.
I was wondering if i should buy this one

... I know its ebay, but bare with me I'm not lookin for performance, and I dont wanna spend 200 on a "high quality muffler" when all i want is something that looks better.


And if my exhaust piping is 2 1/4 inches, would i have to weld the 2 1/5 inch inlet of the muffler to my pipe after i saw off the existing muffler?

Thanks

i'm going to be honest. when i was younger (17), i wanted a DTM STYLE MAD TYTE muffler just like that. i found one on ebay for like $40, bought it, had it put on at a muffler shop, and the car sounded "cool", but was LOUD AS FUCK and was so unpleasant to be in, and when i put a stock exhaust back onto the car i could feel an increase in power. so it had actually sapped some of the power, too.

PLEASE do not get this muffler.

if anything get a magnaflow, or something stock-like that will fit, and have them put some tip on it that you like.

yes, i had the M badge too, which should indicate to you how mislead i was as a teen when it came to cars. yes, i also did wheels before suspension.

I personally can really dig a DTM tip if coupled with a complimentary kit. My favorite however has got to be the straight tip Scorpion system out there. I really dig its looks.

...wait.... how did I find myself in this subforum?...

lol

Quick question, is that for e36 or e30 application?

The soot was from the DTM tips that were on the car some time ago. I would not recommend them.

e30

e36 has staggerd tip mufflers right? for remus anyhow?

I think they do but this one was made for the e30. It fits really well and wasnt a pain in the ass to put in ethier.

i'm guessing it wasn't cheap though either, right?

The 2 used ones I picked up last month are not, one is for a 318is and the other is for an M. Love my Remus systems behind 24V systems.

Stromung for 16V though.

Bav has them on sale occasionally for 10% off the 725 asking price. I have had mine on some e30 of mine in the Northeast with salt for last 7 years or so. And I bought it used from an E30 Sport member from the dark days.
