Here is my Magnaflow, hiding. It's not easy to see, but it's easy to hear.

The exhaust note reminds me of British sports cars of the 60's.
Stahl header from a BMW 2002, removed cat-converter, 2" custom collector-back exhaust, Magnaflow resonator & muffler

I'm going to be dynoing again soon, so I'll try to post a clip....It won't be high-quality vid though.
blitzed310 07-20-2007, 12:07 AM Car looks real good!
2002E21 07-20-2007, 02:10 AM looks nice ;)
nice! Your car looks almost exactly like mine did 5-6 years ago, tho I had the 13" turbines & the dent in the rear valence is under the driver-side tailight :D
I love the different color shades ascot grau shows off depending on the lighting. And, I'm digging those wheels! :cool
cheechthechi 07-20-2007, 06:31 PM Very nice, your car is so clean. Any power mods in mind? I ran that tire combination on my old set of wheels. Nice tires, took up to all the abuse i gave them. My only complaint was that they didn't feel that planted during fast cornering, course in comparison to the stockers I have now they were alot better.
fullswing 07-20-2007, 08:56 PM Just beautiful, man!!!
MFever 07-20-2007, 09:51 PM car has a great contrast of colors. only thing it might slightly need is a drop. other then that it looks wonderful.
BARRY E36 M325 07-20-2007, 11:41 PM Absolutely beautiful. Job well done lad. I just got one very similar to yours. AscotGrau with tan interior. Kudos on the upgrades.
charbel 07-21-2007, 06:05 PM realy nice car...need to be lowered a little. good luck.
Rickysbmw320i 07-21-2007, 07:53 PM Absolutely beautiful. Job well done lad. I just got one very similar to yours. AscotGrau with tan interior. Kudos on the upgrades.
you got another e21! where are the pics?
typhoon320i 08-18-2007, 10:06 AM Here is a dyno from the first session.
the weaker run was too lean so it had detonation.
Fuel mix was enriched and that helped.

Dyno from 2nd session (about 8 degrees hotter that day), after the free breathing exhaust was installed.
5.72 whp and 4.39 wtq improvement.
I definately feel more low-end torque.
For daily driving, it's a nice improvement.
(BTW I bought the E21parts.net performance ignition and Fred claims 10 whp.
I got a total improvment of 5.72, and that's with a header, no-cat, and magnaflow to boot)

mrbobian 08-18-2007, 10:23 AM I wanna hear the magnaflow!
JTFormula 08-18-2007, 02:07 PM That car looks just the the one I just bought with the same wheels too! Mine is lowered though.
Yours looks great!
JRWperformance 08-19-2007, 12:49 AM Wow I wish mine looked that good. Just lower it a little bit and it will be drooled over. At least by us bimmer obsessives.....
JTFormula 08-19-2007, 09:11 AM Here is mine when I first picked it up

JTFormula 08-21-2007, 03:48 PM JT its getting close to the fall, meet?
Crap, your right. I don't know if I have a date yet. I should get going on that huh? I have been busy with my wedding plans and I totally forgot about it. I'll get on it.
I have to buy more 320's just so I can have more show up for the gathering....
