Has anyone got any pics of how the exhaust should look? Where the hangers are etc. As I'm having trouble with mine. Thank you.

Looks like I may have misled you a little - the M10 system diagram only shows one hanger for the rear box and no hanger from the subframe, unlike every other E30. http://2009.bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/ ... _catalyst/

While these are not assembly diagrams, the orientation of the bracket/strap looks about right.

Was the new one I put in on the side not needed then?
From the pic - I have 3 hangers on it now. 1 at the top, 1 on the side and 1 at the end which is a leather strap thing with a hole in it?... The centre pipe still hangs low when connected. Doesn't look like there's a bracket missing from it though. The front pipe is connected with a bracket. Would be great if someone with an m10 like mine could show a pic of their setup.
