...but since i'm such a newb...i don't know where to look or even exactly what it is...would it be too loud? will it sound like rice? i hear good things like it can free up 15 hp or so....


can anyone help me out? where should i look? how much money will i be looking at? is it something that should only be used at the track and not everyday driving?

A track pipe or pipes are used in place of your cat converter(s). Some guys weld them in, some guys weld flanges and bolt them up. OBD 1 and earlier can use them. OBD2 is a problem since they have an additional O2 sensor downstream of the cat. If that sucker doesn't get hot enough the car will run like shit.

so would i be replacing the cat converter? would that make me fail emissions? if you can't tell...i REALLY don't know what i'm talking about here....so talk as if you're talking to a 5 year old....

Yes - Track pipe will make you fail emissions -

Frank Fahey is making Track pipes again for our M6's - Not cheap - but worth it if'n you want one - His have flanges that you can take on and off without too much welding - to stick the cat back on. I think they even have the O2 sensor Bung.. But am not certain.

I forget his website - But I bet if you google Frank Fahey - It'll pop up.

hmmm so if i put one i'll fail emissions, but are our M6's exempt from emissions b/c of their old age?

do you guys know of any other mods out there that are really worth the money? from some looking around all i can come up with are cam sprocket and chip and track pipe seem to be the only mods that give reasonable gains for the money....

i already have 2 of the 3 and would love to get a pipe...

great snow shots there.the 6 looks good in black.did you do the bumper tuck?it works well on E30's also. reduces the diving board.

My 6er is just about done as I'm waiting for my motor mounts to be fabricated. That car will not have a track pipe as I dumped my built M90 euro motor into my 87, so there are some issues with my headers and suspension. The exhaust will just be headers>resonator>muffler and that's it! It'll be pretty loud, but it's built for the track so it should be okay. Yes, the car is a little ass backwards as I have a LJet motor in a car that once had a motronic motor, but the motor came from my old track car and is fresh with maybe 1k on it.
