I think this is about all 'til next year's suspension work.

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

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

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.

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)

That car looks just the the one I just bought with the same wheels too! Mine is lowered though.

Yours looks great!

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.....

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....
