It reminds me of the stromung setup. To tell you the truth, you're better off this way. There's very little gain to get from aftermarket exhaust in our car if any. Nice job | | | 07-16-2005, 05:11 PM | #3 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Quote: Originally Posted by Dredder There's very little gain to get from aftermarket exhaust in our car if any. Nice job | agreed. the only reason i replaced mine is that the stock muffler finally started rusting through (and i was planning to take the stock exhaust off when i was swapping the diff too). looks quite nice at home on your car racerchick __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 07-16-2005, 06:25 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 | i was thinking of getting one for like the last year....that i saw at walmart...lol... i never did because my pops told me exhaust tips are cheap looking, and the only one ive ever actually seen was on my friends pcikup truck...and he got one that connects to likea 1.5 inch pipe and opens into a 3 inch pipe...and his tialpaipe went paralell to the back bumper...so you could EASILY tell and it just look cheap. that looks really nice though...i never really want to get another exhaust...too much money that i dont have....but i think it looks better with a chrome or stainless steel tip...looks much cleaner than the ugly black... you have inspired me...i think i may just buy one next time im at walmart... __________________ 1995 318ti Active Pioneer Speakers [] Aluminum Billet door locks [] ACS Pedals/Deadrest [] ACS Shift Knob / E-Brake Handle [] Clear Corners/Tails/Sides [] Sylvania Exterior Lighting [] Custom CAI [] Dinan Engine Chip [] Dinan Transmission Chip [] H&R Race Springs [] Tokico Illumina Shocks [] BMW X-Brace [] Relocated Lighter Mod [] Custom iPod Mod http://www.cardomain.com/id/robcarync | | | 07-17-2005, 05:24 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 677 | lol yay im an inpsiration! Ya I have been looking at the exhaust tips at walmart since forever and finally went for it. This tip fits perfectly, you cant see the original exhaust tip on the muffler if you look straight into it unless your up close and it touches the muffler so you dont have extra room so from the side if you happen to actually see under the car you cant tell its a fake tip. Its really worth the $5 pocket change, you will be very happy with the look of it, I see it and I just smile! Im so happy I just went for it. __________________ my new world | | | 07-18-2005, 03:28 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | Is it chrome steel or stainless steel? __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 07-18-2005, 03:54 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 677 | Quote: Originally Posted by 96cali Is it chrome steel or stainless steel? | I think it is just stainless steel that is chrome plated......I honesly have no clue __________________ my new world | | | 07-19-2005, 09:16 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Southern California Posts: 225 | I got my tip from Bavauto.com for $6.

If Bavauto has real stainless I'll go that route. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 07-19-2005, 11:10 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 | hey...never noticed you in your red bikini....wow you are a hottie how old are you sweetie ?
