Afternoon all,


Does anyone here have a Fritz's Bits exhaust/manifold for their E30???

I am considering purchasing and would like to get some feedback from those that have bought/dealt with Fritz.

Any good/bad experiences?? Are their exhausts any good???


Any feedback aprreciated. :D

Daimlerman has a fritzs s50 manifolds on his m50'd e30. Good quality stuff from what i've heard. When i can afford it i'll eventually be buying one of their full stainless m50 systems.

Pictures of the manifolds from daimlermans build thread:

Cook318is - Many thanks for the info :D

e301988325i - It's for an M20 2.5

sweep - Are you happy with your manifold? Did it fit nicely?

I am happy with my manifold,bear in mind it is fitted to an M50 in an E30.
Well made and only the straight pipes alongside the gearbox required modding to fit reasonably well.
This is a readymade solution to sorting the exhaust on this conversion,my attempt at making a manifold is in my photos as well!
I have a hottuning 6 branch on my 2.7 which I feel offers better value for money for a standard M20 engine.

I have had two of these they do make a bit of extra power but the second one i got was not as good as the first(not as well made). I wouldn't buy another now the btb2 system is about.
