will this Z3 exhaust fit our hatchlings?!
 

so i've been searching the interwebs for the answer but how similar/different is the Z3 exhaust compared to our 318ti exhaust? I found this on ebay and i'm very tempted to get it but don't know if it'll bolt right up with little to no modifications. I know it's OBX which is a cheap chinese brand knockoff and i know you're prob thinking why put this on a German made car right? Well it's a lot cheaper than the awesome name brand ones and if it sounds good and looks good then i want it. Also because the car came with a cut and weld job from the cat with a cherry bomb muffler so it's loud as hell. Any advice, opinions, and suggestions? :confused:

Also, where does one shop for a Remus, Stromung and Supersprint exhaust specifically for our cars?

thanks, James

Stromung makes a nice quality piece, Remus, was top notch for a long time but I have heard of guys in the E30 world complaining about rust on their systems. Mine lasted 10 years and then I sold it to someone else.

Z3 uses the same rear axle so I imagine it would fit. The guys over on bimmerfest like the obx system. It's basically a chinese knock off

If I recall correctly, .org Member Strawman (Geoffrey) used Z3 exhaust parts, but I don't recall which type he used. Try sending him a message about his setup.

I couldn't find a thread but i seem to remember the z3 exhaust being shorter. I think that's why supersprint sells the adapter pipe for the ti or z3 and then the same muffler section.

thanks for the response guys. I really appreciate it. I'm not too fond of the Remus tip and tone. Not enough deep growl so i may just go with the Stromung which i found here....

understeer.com has them as well. Vac has it listed as coming soon.

yeah i saw that. Maybe i'll have to order from understeer.com

Btw, is it catback or just the muffler?

Catback That is not my car, wish it was but it's Understeer's.

haha i was just about to ask. Yeah i just went on the site to view that particular 318ti. Absolutely gorgeous. Seems like understeer.com is the cheapest price carrying Stromung for our cars. :rolleyes:

Yes, there was a group buy for an M42 one for E30's on R3Vlimited but I'm not sure if it went through.

FWIW, I like the Stromung. It is louder than my Supersprints, but not so loud to be irritating. It does drone tho on the freeway. I have a spare to try on my Cali, I suspect it would appear louder with the canvas top. I have a Supersprint on it now. (I am keeping the Supersprint. :rolleyes:)

Anyone selling a stromung exhaust, Looking for one myself. :)

You wanna sell me that Stronmung? :biggrin:
Well hello there neighbor. Do you know Majorie Post, Burns, or Speno park? I've played in a few handball tournaments few years back. :rolleyes:

Haha! Installing in fact tomorrow with some other work I'm doing. :cool:

Yea, I'm not far from burns park. Where in queens are you? I work in elmhurst. We should get a Ti meet together here on Long Island :smile:
