Sooooo I finally caved and picked up some goodies for my Betty.

I'll be getting this stuff sanded, painted and all that other jazz before summer... funds permitting.

I'll have TWO mtech2 cars in the family

My car as it sits currently, on winters:

And the two of them together... don't worry there's a tire between the two cars. I had to use my car to get the vert into the garage. Auto tranny is shot so I had no other way of getting it in there and no one to lend a hand.

Oooh...purty. It's about time you bought her new things!

Make sure you post "after" pics.

What exhaust do you have on the coupe? That thing looks mean!

I know man hehe, I've been holding out for this kit for like 2 years now... My friend over at Guten Parts (Levent) found a guy out in Wisconsin that had a ton of goodies. I called him up and well, the rest is history!

Hopefully I'll have this stuff freshly painted by summer time... maybe even do a photoshoot with the vert (if I finish her in time) and another special car

Hey dude, its an E36 Remus catback, modified for fitment for dual pipes all the way back (S52 power).

Thanks gents!!

dual pipe all the way back..that has to sound great! Without a rear model badge and that dual tip...4cyl in 6 cyl guise!

It does! Its not too loud, not too quiet. I want something with a tad more grunt so we'll see! I might switch it up in the summer!!

do you have any pictures of that system? Would love to see how you did the dual pipe...(Duplication = the ultimate form of flattery?

Haha, its actually factory E36 bits from beginning to end.

E36 OBDII exhaust manifolds --> Factory E36 Mid-pipe (modded to clear front subframe) --> E36 Remus Catback (custom hanger + one factory)

On an M42 I suppose you could use the S14 as inspiration because those were dual pipe as well.
