Title: E36 exhaust on e30?
Post by: Froos on June 08, 2016, 02:20:47 PM

Hello, will the middle exhaust fit somewhat? I can cut and weld but is there any hope in modifying it to fit an e30? I recon the end part will not work at all? Problem is i cant find a usable e30 unit and since headers are the same i was hoping the e36 could work

Looks like e36 is just longer.

But are the muffler dimensions similar?

Long story short, 318ti compact e36 does not fit....
