i noticed pelican parts has the supersprint that fits our cars m42 318is, $539.00; i thought they were extinct for our cars...539.00 is lot of money for anybody, i wonder if a muffler shop can build one of these at a cheaper price?

hi
I use to built my own exhaut system, front to rear you can buy a high flow cat on ebay or void it, depend where you live and for the muffler flowmaster or magnaflow can sale a less to no restriction the size of the bmw for less than a hundred dollards us. A exhaust shop can mandrel bent the tube the size you want (3 in) and install for maximum 200 USD.
I just put a double line no cat on my 1965 kaiser gladiator pick up for less than 200 cad, header to tail pipe.

A nice shop will hepl you
by localy and have nice customer service

have fun and enjoy

I know that Canada-speak is slightly different, but can you re-read the above post and translate it for us ignorant Americans?

sorry, I'm french
A good muffler shop is usily equiped with a pipe bender and form what ever shape they want, either whit a cramp bender that change the shape of the pipe and give you some restriction or a Mandrel bender that keep the shape of the pipe and the diameter, no restriction what so ever. The faster you dispose of the exhaust gas the more fresh air and fuel you put in the more power you have.
If you really need a catalitic converter, by a high flow unit normally in stainless steel
check on ebay, I don't know any price range because here in montreal we don't have any emission test or regulation. so when it's dead it's out
For the muffler itself you have different compagnie flowmaster, magnaflow, trush, moroso...just a visit to a hot rod shop or a speed shop and you find everything
and you can find everything on the net
If you have time and a mig welder you can buy from the above compagnie mandrel tube lenght that you cut and weld to have the exact shape you need from front to rear.
what ever way you choose you can have a product of the same quality of the bolt on parts for half the price

and please don't say that americans or ignorant, I have family and friends that live in oncle sam's country

thank you
Denis

Actually, I'm the one who should apologize. I didn't realize you were French. I made the mistake of assuming all residents of Canada speak excellent English. Thank you for the clarifications.

I just ordered the SuperSprint cat back from Pelican Parts. Their confirm indicates that it drop ships directly from BMP. I'm still in the midst of a massive restoration, so I don't need it right away. I just hope I get one eventually. I remember reading that SuperSprint only makes them in small batches once they get enough orders, or something to that effect.

Took about 5 months to get mine from BMP, they had to wait for the batch to be produced and shipped from Italy. The E30M42 isn't a big money maker for them so the production gets bumped to the bottom of the list. I love mine though, its great if you've got the time and the money.
