Non Catalytic Exhaust for '89 325iX

[XMon]

I'm looking into ordering up the down pipes to ditch the catalytic on my '89 US spec iX, and am wondering if any of you chaps could take a few pictures for me of a non catalytic set up.

Do the pipes that connect to the manifold go all the way back to the rear can, or is there an intermediate piece?

Thanks

Sorry for the huge pic, guess my code didn't resize it

How many total pieces, and how many tail pipes outta the muffler?

i'm not 100% sure but on my 1989 325 it is a 2 piece system with 2 tail pipes. The early 325's had a 3 piece system which is the bit im not sure about. Your not including the manifold in your total count?

That's exactly right Simon, and exactly what I wanted to hear.....

I reckon I'll order off the pipes. No more cat for the white car in those pics, but then she only went 1200 miles last a year.
