Just use any standard BMW exhaust. I've seen some very high powered 2.7's still using standard exhausts. Will be fine with the M50.

If you want to increase power then you'll to invest in a 6 branch manifold like the ones made by BTB.

We are considering getting these developed.

Standard M20 325 system sounds nice mate, ive just fitted one to another M50 conversion and it does sound sweet 8)

If you want quiet though you will prob have to look at modding the E36 boxes to fit.

Manifolds and frontpipes are the problem area, price all depends on what you want, what you can get, and what you can do i.e. welding
