Hi all

After a better look at my new E30 325i Rally Car we have found that the exhaust is beyond help. Ashley List a System for the 320 does any one know if this will fit a 325i.

Many Thanks

Simon

The 6 pot exhausts will interchange, so long as you get the same type of system. There are 3 piece systems and 2 piece systems. I think the bolt pattern on the manifold flange may vary.

I'm not 100% but in OEM trim, I believe a 320 system is a smaller diameter bore than a 325 system. An aftermarket performance one may be larger though.

It is smaller tube, I believe the Ashley is a single 2.5 inch tube though, designed for the PBMW race series, 2.5 single is smaller area than a standard 325i twin pipe system

The one that is fitted is a single pipe after the main box! just checking that it will fit what is already there.

cheers

No sorry

Not the best Website!!! you needed to put E30 into the search box, they also do down pipes.

Ashley have now confirmed that it will not fit a 325i so back to the drawing board
