yeah its a cheap muffler shop job, cat back with a new resonater and OEM style muffler for $160. It works but I want something a little bit nicer.

the root of evil--

some brand

random bolts and nuts (16mm and 17mm)

after looking at these I got to wondering..

Should there be washers on each side of the bolts???

Nope. Looks like just the guibo end has washer.

are those those rarish Japanese made wheels your rocking? looks like its time for some new bolts that makes me want to go double check mine again...

Yeah they are pretty rare, the date stamp says 1987 and Ive never seen them before. It took a lot of digging to find out what they are.

Getting new bolts and nuts today.

i've seen them twice before, they're cool looking. Made in japan specifically for the e30. I heard rumors they were optional from the dealer there but i don't think thats right... how much do they weigh?

After breaking my only puller and 3 hours of trying to rig a new new one. I finally got the centering bearing out of the drive shaft by, thats right, a dremmel and a steady hand in only about 30 min.

ghey.. (the bolt was used for the final extraction)

good to go

In the end vibration is gone and it was a fun little project, it was hard to get youst to working on the floor again cause I always go to the shop to do work.

Thanks for your help guys.
