I've enjoyed the 325ti over the past year, but its time to upgrade! Look what found its way into the garage this weekend:  I found this nearby along with the rest of the car. Having done a swap before, (albeit an ODB-I) I knew exactly what I needed. For example, the most important parts are here:  ..and the rest of the bits were acquired as well:  So, the issue now is, I have to find a new TI for the beast. Stay tuned...... __________________

Brief update. Without a car to put the monster engine in (hopefully more on that soon), I decided to get some work done. I skipped ahead to the end of the project and started working on the exhaust. I got this in the engine deal: M3 Mid-pipe:  The mid-pipe fits perfectly under the car with no modifications. Its the rear that's the major problem. As a solution, I got ahold of a new 325 catback (thanks again 96Cali). As you can probably guess its a little long, hence the two pieces:  Hmm, two pipes on the mid-pipe and only one on the cat-back? I believe this part has made an appearance on the site before, just not on a car:  Since I already have a motor swap ti lying around I'm getting this installed onto the 325ti tomorrow. Then it comes right back off of course. This way the hardest part will already be done. Keeping my fingers crossed on a chassis deal... Stay tuned. __________________

Fellas, this has to be the easiest exhaust solution yet. You've got to try this. Its very quiet and fits perfectly.  It fits perfectly in the bumper and looks fairly stock (The 325ti bumper has been trimmed already to accomodate a dual tip. This will work perfectly with the new unmolested bumper. Time to go take it off the car.  __________________

Hahaha, I was wondering when someone was going to ask for it.
The answer is no BTW.
Hopefully I'll get ahold of a chassis of my own soon. __________________

Obviously sounds like you knew exactly what you were up to but it was a 318ti cat back not a 325, just to clarify for everyone else. Happy to help. __________________
