Exhaust?

Post by emmodg »

Anyone have any good exhaust "recipes"? What worked, what didn't? What sounded best? Thinking about getting rid of the cats as I don't have any kind of smog tests...

Stock cast iron manifolds (11 62 1 274 886, no thermal reactor), stock euro 50mm downpipes (18 11 1 175 377 & 18 11 1 175 379), euro front resonator (18 12 1 175 387, in place of cat), then 2" straightpipes (no center resonator) back to stock muffler (18 12 1 175 391).

Nice snarl under acceleration, but the stock muffler keeps it from being "boomy".

Here's an option;
Brent, 'bkbimmer' here on First Fives and elsewhere, will build you a custom set up.
Here's a couple of links, the pics aren't showing up for some reason, but if you'll PM him I'm sure he'll show you what he's got.
