#1. Exhaust fitment / advice needed - from Jones, John
Top
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 10:45:27 -0500 From: "Jones, John" <JJones@INTERGEN.com> Subject: Exhaust fitment / advice needed M'wads - I have a co-worker with a '93 (I think) 325is (E36) with a bad exhaust. "Ah hah!," it strikes me, "Can you say new exhaust cost mitigation?" Now the questions: - Will my e36 m3 (98) fit his car? - What additional parts and gadgets would I need to install my old exhaust on his car (hangers, u bolts, etc)? - What is a fair price for an exhaust with 58K on the clock (with me doing the labor)? and most importantly, what should I buy? - I am looking for more ROAR at full throttle, high RPM - I spend most of my driving on the highway at about 4,000 RPM, and don't want to go deaf. (45 minutes each way, each day) - I like twin DTM tips, but can be open minded. My current bias is toward the UUC pipes, but know many of you bought other types in various group purchases. Talk to me! TIA, John Jones 98 M3-4 (not loud enough)

#3. Question for those running 8.5"x17" stock rims all round... - from Heckendorf, David

If you have a stock suspended E36 M3, what brand/size of rubber are you running? I've been told by some that (particularly with aftermarket suspensions), certain brands of rubber (even in 245/40/17) will not fit up front without spacers or rolling... Of particular interest are the following: Bridgestone SO-2 Pole Position Michelin Pilot Sport Yokohama AVS Sport Kumho ECSTA 712 (still debating as you certainly can't complain about the price...) TIA!!, Dave

I have a $200 certificate for a B&B Tri-flow for your M3. It expires at the end of November. After hearing how it sounds on another M3, I guess it would be too loud for my neighbors at the condo. Not that they are the deciding factor. On occasion, I will set off some sensitive alarms in the garage with the backpressure of my stock exhaust. I'd hate for that to happen all the time. The first one to answer this trivia question wins the certificate: What is Jacques Villeneuves' birthday (mm/dd/yy)? Ed Tang 95 Cosmos M3 Dear Ed, My birthday is 03/02/48. Please send the gift certificate to my good friend Chris who lives in in the USA. I will pick it up when I visit him for Halloween. :-) Your friend, Jacques, Now retired from racing

I prefer not having the a/c come on automatically with defrost. Sometimes it isn't needed. The auto capability is put there to cover the morons who can't figure this stuff out on their own. - Rich
