Finally got around to putting on the exhaust I got from Denis a few months ago. 2" from the header back, stock downpipes to free flow cat then a Magnaflow muffler. The exhaust was originally built for Sams beast.

I replaced all the hardware(header studs/ collector bolts even the brackets for the hangers) new gaskets, hangers everwhere plus a new bosch O2 sensor(no more check engine light). Its pretty loud but tollerable and a bit raspy but its an m42 it sounds different than anything else. Best part is the increase in power at highway speeds.

As you can see my car is no gem. But that e36 had a hard time hanging with me on the back roads:D

It took me a while to get all the parts I wanted/needed to put it on. When I do things on my car I tend to go overboard and replace everything I touch. Nuts, bolts, paint stupid things no one will ever notice. Its nice when its done though.

I had my emissions due 2 days after I finished putting it on. Passed with flying colors, it said my car was under powered though? I think it was the guy testing the cars' driving capability. its definetly not down on power. Either way thanks Denis im really happy with the exhaust.
