pic dump of my custom stainless exhaust being made up

[e30-EVN]

as title, i took these when it was being made but forgot to post them up. its 2 downpipes into a Y piece, single 2.5' with smallish middle box (just to keep noise level down a touch lol) and 2 45mm tails i think thats what they were..... she really sings when the revs climb, i love it







i love the downpipes! watching him bend and shape them was a cool thing to see. a work of art imo

Looks great, whats it sound like?

Nice. Love seeing exhausts being crafted to an individual car. Going to get my M52 up and running with the bits I have before having a proper exhaust made.

Looks great, whats it sound like?

it sounded lovely with the m50 spiting through it but the m52 i now have in is something else mate!! the middle box helps to keep it down when im not poking it but you can still tell theres something special in there when driving nicely or sat at the lights on tickover, but when the revs climb she sounds epic ! She howls up top and has been refered to by more than 1 person that she sounds like a bike going past there house on full chat lol

it was a great thing to see him craft it in mate, he's a skillfull guy and well worth the money

What was the cost if you don't mind us asking? I need a "Y piece" like that!

[e30-EVN]

dont mind at all mate ,, I bought a set of tubular manifolds off a zoner but they were mig welded so.....
He ground off the migs and re tig welded them properly, reemed the ports out for me aswel and made the whole system for £400

i was happy with this price as i cant weld for shite and also it was custom made to my car ect and brand new , and the noise it gives off..........!!! lol. epic

Looks a really good job that does Ant

[turk]

Looks good mate! Love good custom porn

I need to have mine done properly, My efforts are just not not worthy of the engine in my car.
Any one know of somewhere down south that can do this for me?

[Jim320i]

Looks good pal. I want to get a custom exhaust for mine made up one day, had quotes before for £900 or something mad like that, so i'll know to shop around, or give you a call and take a drive

[e30-EVN]

@dan- the only thing it needs to go back in for is the front mani needs moding slightly to fit an e46 rack as you mentioned before, but he will just mod the front downpipe he's already made, but it serves a purpose for now

[e30-EVN]

@jim- I've know the guy for years, he's the owner of prospeed custom exhausts in cardiff. He's done about 5 of my cars before so he did me a deal on it. But if you did come down I could have a word as I can guarantee he would do it for WAY less than 900

Think of it this way, mine was a 24v jobby so a lot more tricky!! And he did it for that price, and a quality job that I'd recommend to anybody

[Jim320i]

It would only be for my 320 auto... Nothing special, just twin 2" pipe exit is all i'd want... Obviously an exhaust inbetween the end and the engine though.

[bimanut]

Looking very nice mr dk The front part is exactly like what i will need.
It`s a nice drive to sunny wales
I had my last one done at powerflow for my M40.(only the front part)
The product and price was ok but fk me the welding was absolute shyt, i took it off after six months and sold it before it fell apart!

[e30-EVN]

Cheers mate, I know what you mean there... I won't take my cars to our local longlife for that reason, cowboys!
But charlie's work is litrally second to none around here! I swear by him

If you get to the stage where you need it done and can't find anywhere good enough drop me a pm, can always meet you off the m4 and take you there

[randomspeedfreak]

looks really nice mate,

is there any power to be lost having a single pipe rather than 2?

[e30-EVN]

I don't think so tbh, a guy called monkey?? On here had an m50 running 217bhp through a 2.5' single....
Mines an m52, if I'd gone 3' I think it wouldn't do it any favours (to big) but 2.5' is apparently good for gains so I went with that

[eko]

Looks a quality job
How come you havent got a heatshield fitted,is that just to get the exhaust tucked up tighter?

[e30-EVN]

Pretty much the reason mate yeah, the system is tucked up nicely. I took it off when I did my m20 conversion and never put it back on, so when I dropped this lot in I took it to him without the shield on

I could prob refit it but I don't see the point as I've had no issues without.
Plus my car will be lighter than any other facelift hahaha weight reduction stage 1
Nah I'm only jokin lol
