Hi ive got an mildly modded 325i with a standard twin exhaust system and no cat from factory. but its y piped at the back (ie 2 into 1 2.5inch muffler) deleted factory muffler at the back. and ive just got an mtech rear kit and it wont fit over the exhaust pipes like it is now. so i have to move the muffler a bit to the left (ie welding)

im doing a 4.0 v8 conversion on it soon, and i plan on running a full single 2.5inch mandrel bent exhaust system all the way thru with one decent muffler or to ?,so i thought i could do the exhaust now to save mucking around later to much. my question is
can i do the exhaust now? and will it be to big for the m20 ? will it be very loud ? cheers fellas
