Hey guys,

not so new in the E30 scene, but need some guidance with a problem...

Just recently picked up a Supersprint exhaust and stumbled on a bit o a dilema with assembly. One of the pipes going from the manifold to the center section doesn't fit on the other side, I suppose there should be some seal/gasket coming in between to allow some flexiblity, but I didn't get any such item in the packaging.

Is it possible that I am missing some parts or maybe that the manifold and center pipes don't match?

How exactly is this section assembled?

Any advice will be appreciated.

I know for mine from centre pipe to front pipe there was a metal o ring that went between the pipes.

That's right, it's a metal doughnut that allows the joint some movement when assembling, you must be missing them.

sometimes called olives - you can get generic sized ones from eurocarparts or sometimes the originals fit back in
