CR24v Custom M52B30 FTW. New Exhaust, New gearbox and Fan.

[Jozi]

Don't know about brackets but you can get just the tips from Scorpion, I've 2 new ones here to replace my dtm tips. Is your middle section scorpion also? Mine must be a M3 middle section with scorpion tailpipe

[Dezzy]

Full M3 system with 50mm bores.

Not my first choice but it was so cheap I couldn't resist.

I'll be custom making tailpipes mate.

[leeparkes]

You will get away with just slash cutting those tailpipes off, M3 system pipes seem to stick out further than normal ones.
You wont find any brackets to fit as M3 has a single mount at the back, however i found some brackets/straps that do fit and iirc they were off a 320i. Ill check and post back up later.

[Dezzy]

The tail pipes and daft support bracket will be cut off near the box.

I haven't decided what tailpipes to fit yet. I might just get Scorpian to send me some new lemans style ones yet. I have a daft idea about having some angled ones in the style of the Chromie 325 system. I'll have a think.



Lee any info on brackets would be great. I'm after stainless brackets if poss.

[capri_rob]

Nice pipes Dezz

. I have a daft idea about having some angled ones in the style of the Chromie 325 system.

THIS FTW - Slash cut & angled will look

[Rav335uk]

NO!!!!

Go straight out, I want to go slash and angled!!!

[Dezzy]

Oh supprise supprise, Rav wants something else on his white chromie to look like mine.....

Cheers Rob, I think that's the way I'll go. Wanted to do it for ages now. Just want the exhaust sorted so I can get it mapped.

[leeparkes]

Here you go, half way down the page. Gen BMW.

M3 Scorpion FTW, with that resonator in front of the middle box the sound is glorious.

[Dezzy]

Cheers Lee!

I remember that thread. I want stainless ones really. I'll get on to Scorpian and see what they come up with.

[leeparkes]

You could use the single M3 hanger like Gareth did then weld some tabs on the subframe.

[Dezzy]

Nar mate subframe is powdercoated. I'll just see if Scorpian can supply me with the right size.

I'm going to ask them about tailpipes too.

[Jozi]

You could use the single M3 hanger like Gareth did then weld some tabs on the subframe.

Has he got pics of this somewhere? I have to do something about mine and I may as well do it before the rear beam goes for coating and the underside gets new underseal.

[Dezzy]

You just want a pic of an M3 rear beam.

They the two hangers on. I sold one to glen last year. I may have a pic.

[Jozi]

I have a pic from a beam somewhere that I got of xworks, reckons it's easier to weld on some steel tube for the exhaust rubbers to hang of. It's more the single hanger thing between the pipe to see how it's meant to be fixed under the car, using this eliminates using straps in the original position then?

[Dezzy]

I'm just going to have 2 brackets on the backbox and cut the un needed one off the middle.

Basically hang it like a 325i system.

[E30BeemerLad]

Straight out with a subtle slash

[Dezzy]

In fairness I will probs just change the tailpipes to something more in keeping with the car...

[B7]

Straight out with a subtle slash

Slash FTW. Every time.

Heres mine 70mm OEM stylee Ernst sports box kicked to the side.

This is a post from my thread.

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... &start=450

looks a lot nicer than my scorpion M3 exhaust

forklift damage from the M3 breaker it came from

I've had a look abut can't find any pics of my rear hanger... anyway I used the M3 hanger and made up a bracket that bolts onto the shell using the rear bumper mounting bolts you can see on the floor:


Just a cut of 1.5" angle with the upper part of the M3 hanger welded on: the lower half is shown here still bolted to the back box.



possible all a bit anal but i thought i'd use that rather than the strap type hangers

Bits are on realoem...

Looks like ill be using the early BMW straps Lee!

Scorpion can't help me with one off brackets.

They are getting back to me about the tip's im after

[Dezzy]

What do we think of these?

I like



60mm tailpipes from Scorpian

[Jhonno]

Those angled would be awesome..

[Dezzy]

Those angled would be awesome..

My thoughts exactly matey

[Jhonno]

Do it.

[capri_rob]

Quality Dezz - much better than the rolled tips.

Get it done

[Dezzy]

They are getting ordered today...

[Kedge]

Think they're the same as on my Scorpian system . No slash cut though

[Dezzy]

They are making them this week. I should see them early next.

My car is worn ATM though. When the salts gone, the weather has changed and I can be arsed, this coont might get map'd.

[Jhonno]

SORN?

[Dezzy]

Yeh fooking phone. Sorn

[Dezzy]

Had a quiet half hour at work so I made a bracket out of 2 I found in our stash.

Then took the bulky support thingy off and angled the tailpipes.

They may need trimming back but I'll do the rest on the car.
