some new stuff :)
so ever since i owned my e30 i always had an issue with the exhaust... replaced the stock catback twice because it was always shifting.. then when the muffler fell apart again i just replaced it with a flowmaster 60. most of you already heard it.. but that mounting issue was always a pain.. ghetto clamps and mounts held like crap... so i had enough.

so i got this done...



high flow cat, 18" res, new muffler cross flow.. all SS and 2.5" from header back.

that whole set up does not move at all....great sound too


and i got these in the mail today...



i had no issues with the brembo blanks before so why not again... the hawks came highly recommended so ill give them a go.

need a brake fluid change and im thinking about steel braided lines.

i think ill be sitting pretty for some...

I'm interested to hear how this sounds. I may be looking for a new exhaust in the near future.

Mind sharing where it was done and how much?

And how do you like the sound now that you've had it for a while?

If I end up needing an exhaust I may have to have a listen to yours first!
