Do e36 exhaust's fit the e30's?

[Lee_Coupe]

basicly just want to know if the e36 exhaust will fit the e30?

325 manifold & downpipes?
325 centre section?
325 backbox?

Cheers

Doubt it, but an expert will be along soon!

I think the backbox can be made to fit, but it will need a bit of work - hangers etc.

The M50 conversions in the US use the E36 Cats/center section, but Im not sure whats involved in getting them to fit.

The manifold will not fit.

Cool cheers mate

The backbox that I was really after would the bore match up and all the pipes just the mounts/hangers need a tinkle?

Thanks

Match up to the rest of the E30 system? I doubt it, the E36 325i is a larger bore pipe than the E30 system, but it probably could be made to fit.

It might be possible to remove the E30 backbox from the pipes and weld on the E36 backbox in its place????

It fits on a RHD cars, i had E36 exhaust on my e30 with m50 swap, it only needed some small mods, otherwise its almost the same.
