Meh, in all honesty, the supercharger is a waste of time, unless youre looking for weight savings, but at the same time, you only gain 40lbs from an engine swap.

If im not mistaken, back when they were first produced, the supersprint was top of the line for performance over stock, not to mention the sound is great. Best bang for the buck with the 4 cyls is a chip, lightweight flywheel, 3.73 or 4.10 LSD, and pure maintenance.

Have one made with another aftermarket muffler, 2.25" and try to keep it as straight as possible also without crushing it to go under the subframe.

bavauto.com carries a few exhausts for the ti, but it would be cheaper to just buy a Magnaflow and have a custom exhaust made by a shop, which would also give you a broader choice of tips

From the brakes forum...
http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24547

Remus, Stromung, Supersprint all good exhaust systems for the ti.

understeer.com
bimmerbum.com
bavauto.com
bimmerworld.com
turnermotorsport.com
ecstuning.com

Nothing ti specific but plenty of sites that sell parts for the ti.

rice pos muffler? Magnaflow is a pretty high quality brand and it's one of the few universal mufflers that don't sound too ricey on the 4-bangers

Yeah, this is a fantastic performance upgrade for the ti. A shorter geared diff will really let you use the M44 better- you will keep it higher in the power band, where the engine is putting out it's best performance. You will need to look after the engine (regular oil changes, etc) but you would have to do this with any engine performance mod. Especially with a limited slip diff- it will change the character of the ti, and really make it into the sportscar that it can/should be.
