Its rusted from the cats back. So i need somthing that attaches from the headers back. Options? Muffler shop said 1200...sounds like a bit much for some steel tubing.

Don’t pay $1200
that it ridiculous.

oem replacement is $250 at pelican parts free shipping
and $190 at bavauto
you might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere and of course performance options are going to cost more

did you want something better flowing or just replacement?

If you're in the bay area, I am parting out my 318is. The exhaust is rust-free.

I have the $190 Bavauto exhaust! It sounds ricy! It isn't OEM quality, just OEM replacement! Spend the money for an actual OEM exhaust!

DO NOT GET THE BAVAUTO ONE!!! It leaked where the piece bolted to the cat.  I had to put a 24" resonator on it to quiet it down and then the thing just snapped 2'' in front of the muffler.  I had so many problems with it the credited me the entire cost less shipping.  I really like everything else that I have bought from bavauto and they were great about dealing with my muffler issues.  I think they just got burned by their supplier on this piece.
