Its close in size to the SS race system if you get either the 1.75 inch or 2 inch version. I can't remember I had one on my car back when it was NA and replaced it with a resonator set up to kill some noise. I never dynoed it to check performance.

#2. Front Hub Removal - Puller?? - from Mo Karamat

Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:44:01 -0400 From: Mo Karamat <karamatm@optonline.net> Subject: Front Hub Removal - Puller?? Kent, Hello. I just did one on my car.. No special tools required. If the hub is stuck, just use a nice hammer, and hammer it off. The new hub will slide on to the spindle. Just be careful when handling the new spindle not to let it separate. Good luck!

Hi, Excuse my ignorance but I've never done hub removal on a BMW. What type of puller do I need to remove the hub then put it back on? Any wisdom from those that have BTDT??

I'll do it for beer ;) I can't say I'm an expert as I've only done one. But hey, that's better than none :-P Thanks, Mark
