I have a 318ti and i'm interested in this bosal system. but i also have a 1998 318i.
i know this is not directly related to the ti but i figure peoeple here are generally knowledgeable about the entire e36 1.9l's.
anyway, there is a bosal exhaust clearance on the 93-98' 318is system. now, as far as i can tell, the IS is just a 2 door incarnation of the 4 door 318i. so am i correct in the assumption that this exhaust should work fine on my 318i? a few have told me conflicting things. |  |  | | 03-29-2006, 04:22 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |

The bad news. The CAT back factory exhaust is a different part number from the 318ti to the other E36 318i's. It looks different as well and the muffler hangers. I would say no, but is it too far off to make it fit ??? This, I can not say. Get yer self a good ole Sledge and wack er in. =D
