I took the thermostat housing off while in there and got a new one at the dealer. The one I took out said 71 degrees and the one for the dealer says 92 degrees. on the top. I know you can get different temps, what is the general consensus on the best temp? Shel 1995 M3 2002 Boxster S ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Never cared much for rules around here, but the few we do have have are linked at the bottom of each post under DIGEST INFO. (Most pertain to common sense list etiquette.) As always, there are no restrictions for private party ads. Thanks, Ye olde list mistress

Not sure what brand they are though. I have their stainless steel catback exhaust in my E30 and the price wasn't that low but I thought it sounded like it would be perfect for my car. Fit was not great according to the installer and he would never recommend it because of what he had to go through. I was disappointed because I thought it would have a nice sound but to me it is stockish. One thing though I like loud exhausts. I have the annoyingly loud UUC one (whatever the old dual can one is called) and I love that thing. :-) Carlos 98 M3 can be heard from blocks away and today I set off a car alarm :-)
