Engine swap Exhaust question Show me your exhausts
 

So I bought Ben's M52 98 Base model, have some work ahead of me as it present is not starting issue and windows are non functioning....great was hoping to use it as a winter bomber.

So it needs a rear muffler. I have not see a show me your exhaust thread and I planned to possibly use an E30 rear can since it has a E30 butt.

Has anyone used a Stromung E30 rear mounted to a E36 OBD II cat section?

I believe the e30 muffler is a little too long to fit on the ti... Could be wrong but I've tried to fit an AC Schnitzer muffler from and older car on my to and it doesn't fit right. You can always use a Z3 exhaust, use a muffler from a 540i, I think the z4 exhaust might fit too, I've looked into the e46 exhaust but unsure of its dimensions (been looking at the e46 Remus exhaust) or go with a MagnaFlow 3 inch single inlet or 2.25 dual inlet (the sound pretty good). Have fun. Let us know what you do 👍

I 2nd the MagnaFlow. Just be sure it's not a straight pipe.

I was thinking Magnaflow or Vibrant as well. I have the Stromung but I purchased it for my Red M3.

I'm gonna kick some ideas around

Was thinking a 14815 Magnaflow since they are twin in and out. Have a custom shop do some mounts and fab the pipes to oem cats with vbands and done.

i have a custom exhaust from my s50 swap for sale

let me know if this is something you are interested in

I'm currently looking for a solution too. I have a stock obdii midsection right now hooked up to e36 m3 catback chopped right off before the exhaust (essentially straight piped). I'm leaning towards magnaflow based on the 24v videos I have heard on youtube and in person.
Just need to find a dual inlet and single out to maintain the sleeper look.

I was thinking of using the Z3M Coupe rear muffler as well, I'm on the road so I haven't even started squat which is irking me since winter is rapidly approaching. I volunteered for some ISIS missions and we have been busy so helps my wallet.

Yeah. A Z3M or z4 exhaust may work. I've been thinking the same thing for the future. Almost got my hands on a z4 remus muffler for $200 but the guy got it stolen from his backyard

I've posted pics of my exhaust before, somewhere on this board... it's custom from the y-pipe back... Magnaflow Racing cat and resonator with a Borla turbo. Single 2.5 all the way back.

Is yours obd 1 or 2 and how well does it do with the smog checks

This is on the 95, so it's obd1. It passes smog fine.

Found the pics;

Cheaper to fabricate a single in with a dual out but dual in should be more compact.
