Please use '318is cat back' as your subject line.

Ok guys and gals,

I am working again with Stromung Exhuast and are looking into developing a cat back setup for the 90-91 318i/is.

We need to get a gauge of how many folks are interested and how much the market is willing to spend.

We would need a minimum of 10 committed buyers before production can start.

We have 2 options, only 1 will go into production. (Unless there is enough interest in both options)

#1, Lower cost, stainless piping from cat back, import muffler and tip

#2 Higher cost, genuine Stromung quality setup with stainless piping from cat back, Stromung muffler and branded tip.

We do not have price estimates as of right now as we need to gauge how many will be willing to invest.

To make the exhaust we either need someone local (SoCal) to bring me their 318is to make a jig with. (Must be 100% factory setup) Or we will simply order a new muffler assembly from the dealer and make the jig from that.

If your interested simply email me at service@e30motorwerks and use '318is cat back' as the subject line. Simply provide your name, zip code, and option 1 or 2 that your interested in.

Thanks,
Robert

interested in genuine stromung option 2.  But if that doesnt go into production, then option 1.  my dynomax just rusted out

Anything ever happen with this?

Been a few months since I last posted this and I have received several emails and it seems a few of you are interested.

We where going to offer one or the other in regards the overall system  design and it seems we are agreeing on building both at this point.

We need a minimum of 5 each, or 10 total. Although this is a open group  buy and there is no maximum order limit. This will be a limited one time  run. After this group buy, there may never be another opportunity to  own a genuine Stromung exhaust for your 318is.

I will should have some numbers/pricing after the Thanksgiving Break.

Do you have a rough estimate on price for either option? And do you know if they will sound more along the high notes or in the low notes. Interested in either option. Im just looking for a good deep powerful sound from my car.

Group Buy Price is $399!

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the long delay on this group buy but it is now time for final commitments.

Since we got the price down so low we have decided to only produce the Stromung branded system.

All final commitments must be received by Sunday, Jan 13th

We need your full name, shipping address, phone number and email.

This will be passed on to Stromung who will contact you for payment and shipping details.

Looking to start shipping these by the end of January.

Email me directly at service@e30motorwerks.com or call the shop at 714.398.8405 so we can add you to the list.

Please use '318is cat back' as the subject title so I can keep all requests grouped together.

We have 5 commitments at this point, we need 10. Lets make it happen.

Another quick update:

We got a virgin 91' 318is to test fit on. We have test fitted the exhaust and a production jig has been manufactured. Pipe design has been completed, piping is being manufactured as we speak.

We are hoping to have a completed unit ready for final test fitting possibly and sound check as soon as this Friday the 25th.

Stromung is currently contacting participants for payment and shipping details.

We currently have 10 commitments and will most likely produce 12 units. So there may be a couple units left up for grabs.

More details to follow as we move forward.

Thanks,
Robert

Hello everyone. All units should start shipping this coming Monday.

Here is the count so far. We made a total of 12 units.

10 are sold

1 is spoken for, just waiting on shipping details and payment

1  has 2 folks inline, if the first backs out, the second gets it. So at  this point I would consider this group buy closed out. I will make  contact with the additional parties on Monday. If any are left after  that, I will let you know.

Now on to pictures




Connection Clamp shown in picture was temporary, all units ship with a high quality band clamp.

Video. Taken with a old digital camera so sound and vid quality are not that great, but you get the idea.



I guess that is it for now.

I want to say thanks to all of those who participated. I am sure you will enjoy your new exhaust system.
