I read somewhere some-one used a 323i centre piece to fit the Scorpion 320i twin-pipe end box to their 320i, 'cause I brought the 320i kit for a twin-pipe and I've got a single pipe on there at the mo. I'm not very good at D.I.Y. bits on cars - I got a good excuse (Multiple Scleroris) not to!

Does anyone know for sure a way to do this? Should I just phone up the Scorpion dealer and get myself a 323i centre section? Anyone know of any profecient exhaust specialists on SW London that could sort this out?

My g/f's got a real Mini Cooper - getting bits for them is easy as compared with E30s!

Also, does anyone know where I can get different window winders from? I keep breaking the standard soft metal ones...

I have a complete single pipe e30 320 system , i fitted it to a customers car 3 months ago , the car has now been scrapped , Ԛ£50 if its any use to you. It is as new. If you want to go the twin pipe route, do NOT get a scorpion, they are nasty, noisey and council !.

Thanks for your offer but I had to get a new single-pipe end-box 'cause the old one rusted off anyway!!!

Scorpions are nasty and 'chav' eh? I didn't realise they were noisy too - my neibours ain't going to love me any more? Pity I didn't know that before I brought the chuffin' thing then! I can't really send it back now...

Could sell it on eBay I suppose - get half price back...Anyone want a scorpion for a twin-pipe E30 for Ԛ£120 quid - brand new? LOL

a noise exaust can be sh1t. nothing worse than having this huge noise while you sitting there idling and making 3 x that musch noise whn u touch the pedal... I am not really sure but i think i have a stainless stess exaust system on my car that just copys the original design. (need to find out)

i wants read in max power that if you mix ssteel amd mild steel you can get different effects...need to find that mag again and post the articale..

anyway just by 2cents worth.
