Stromung Exhaust- NOW WITH 325 PRICE

[AdamF 88iS]

M3 mufflers connectors have 1 simple bend and end +/-8" from the back of the muffler. As you can see by the link http://www.davelength.net/car/images...st/m_front.jpg on Daves site, the non-M muffler is longer with more bends. M3 Mufflers also connect with a simple bolt up bracket between the 2 muffler tips. The Stromung muffler incorporates its own muffler mounting brackets so you dont have to use the barrel style clamps like the stock muffler.

HTH,
Chris

EDIT: hahaha I dont think the "Rules of Attraction" Trailers was the link I ment to put there :roll:

Exactly right Chris; thanks.

I'm working on the price for you guys.

And, for what it's worth, Dave just bought a Stromung for his M3 from me...shows how much he likes them and how good they are.

I'm not interested in the GB, but I did buy Dave Adams' Stromung off his totaled cabrio and let me say the thing sounds bad ass. I love it and so does everyone who has ridden in my car or heard me drive by. I can tell you that these are well made systems.....I was checking out the welds prior to installation and was very impressed with the craftmanship. And speaking of installation, this is a DIRECT bolt in system and the fitment is very good. Absolutely nothing needs to be altered/fabricated in order to make it work. If anything, inspect your existing rubber exhaust hangers and go get some new OEM replacements and have them handy when you go to install. I highly recommend the Stromung guys. If you can get the price down to $500-ish take it and be happy. You won't be disappointed.

Chris: hate to differ with you but I count 4 simple bends on each exhaust. What happened to the Supersprint system I could not tell you, looks like some one weld in a crossover pipe to balance flow on it. But the size of the muffler doesn't matter I have seen bigger ones and smaller. They are both nearly identical. besides minor details.

However, those minor details, like the simple bends for the pipes, and the brackets welded onto the canister require time and precision. Otherwise, customers get their mufflers and complain of the horrible fitment issues and people dont buy them. Also, the M3 pipes end right after that first kink down from the canister. There are no adapting flanges either. The cost of the extra tubing, the time to line it up on the jig, the flanges at the point where it connects to the center section, the brackets on the canister, the angled tips all add up to make it a higher cost.

While I dont like paying more, M guys generally pay 2x what we pay for similar parts, lets let them have a fun time by knowing there is at least one thing that costs us more. ;)

[AdamF 88iS]

It's the flanges and mounting stuff that gets it. The M3 one has one simple, striaght bracket betweent the tips that it bolts on with...the pipes on the muffler slide over the pipes out of the cat and clamp on. The 325 muffler has to have flanges to it can bolt to the cat, and it has to have brackets for the rubber hangers that those straps for the stock muffler go on.

[slammed_e30]

so how much is it for a 325?

[Brian 89 325i]

Count me in..

Count me in for one for my '89 325is. Just let me know how to proceed. Thx.

[AdamF 88iS]

Thank you guys for your patience.

I'm waiting for them to return from Christmas vacation.

[Brian 89 325i]

Damn people and their personal activities. Im waiting, let us know.

The price for the 325i system will be $580 SHIPPED. I have 2 of them on order.

The E30 M3 price stands at $420 SHIPPED. The $395 I quoted before was without shipping.

[M-technik-3]

$185.00 to ship it? It's just an exhaust? I just a B&B set up and had it shipped for $40.00. You might want to get a UPS business account.

Stebro was going to install mine for $499 in Toronto.

Edit don't I feel silly I thought he meant $395 was the before stated price on getting a 325 system prior to shipping. $580 is an average price for a good system.

looks like $25 shipping to me... i think you may have misread it.

[AdamF 88iS]

Yea, my shipping price is $25-$30.

So to recap so there is NO CONFUSION...

E30 325i/is $550 local pickup, $580 shipped.

E30 M3 $395 local pickup, $420 shipped.

$580 shipped is a great price for a Stromung though, they usually list for over $600+shipping. I even heard of one site selling them for $700!
