supersprint

...someone posted re: an IE M42 exhaust that's relatively new. Rohan who is on this board has fabbed a real nice custom exhaust also.

hello guys..
..not sure whether it's the best muffler/backbox for m42.. but now i'm using Remus... taken from a e30 m20 2.0... i'm happy with the performance and sound... it gives u the crispy sound when idling and the grumpy bassy sound when accelerating

Didn't the m20's all have dual exhaust all the way back? I've been looking for a dual-tip exhaust for my 318 for some time, and all I have come across is the powerflow custom setup. I'll probly end up with a supersprint system, though. Apparently, they are very reliable and have a good sound.

my experience is m42 needs a back pressure for the exhaust even though the original after market exhaust like supersprint,or.... etc... jsut get the proper and suitable for 1.8 liter car with straight flow exhaust will do...

Nelson, you forgot to tell them that your car is Right Hand Drive... With the steering coupling on the 'WRONG' side of the engine, there's very limited space to custom make a free flowing extractor system...
