    Do you have any smaller versions?


    Also on the e36 front. Lose the angel eyes QUICK! They were overdone before the e36 was even done with product and the e46 replaced it. When you see at the Varsity a new Mustang is Angel Eyes. Time to move on

    Also does that e36 have a catback? It sounds like it was unbolted at The Varsity.

    Oh that and I am pretty sure he needs an underpanel in the front



    On the photograpy front... careful with the angles.

    No, BMWs could pull them for the most part. Now they are well... a little bit of rice. There was a mustang at The Varsity no more than 50 feet away with them. CCFL ones too... Keep on rocking it I guess if you like it that much. Have fun with them with the ballast start going out. They are all crappy kits no matter where you buy them from.

    I knew there was something up with the sound. Looks like it is a 97-99 M3? Recommend you put the cats back on since the cars lose torque below 5000 RPMs and are overall slower. This is of course not true if it is a track car and you spend lots of time over 5K.

    Yes. An underpanel. It goes under the engine so you can't see the ground when you look through the front mesh? You should think about getting one. It protechs from road grime and items being throw up into the engine bay. Greatly decreases how dirty the bay gets as well. Also on the M3 it has a very specific shape and is part of the underbody aero. Further more the shape and that aero it creates helped pull the air coming into the kidney grills for the radiator down in front of the engine and out the bottom side of the car. Crazy Germans...


    Not hating. I have been around the block a couple of times with the e36. Why not take some constructive cristiscm instead of being so defensive?

    as far as my car...its a 95...OBD1...OB2 m3 cats theres no point of taking off cuz of how good the design is...loses power...as far as OB1 there super restrictive ..i did tons of research before takeing them off cuz i was scared of big pwer loss but Dyno charts so no low end trq or hp loss but plenty mid range power gain...i know wut im doing..and you have no clue wut my setup is anyways




    as far as my head lights i like for the most part and thats a mustang...not a BMW..BIG diff there... i dont have $$ for hen ones i want.

    WOW REALLY? The obd2 cat section is less restrictive? You don't say?

    I don't care what your dyno told you. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over again it has been proving. Running straight pipes on a street car... your car is slower. You lost midrange torque and your power band moved quite a bit to the right.

    What you could do is just bolt on an obd2 midsection and get your torque back. That would be a good start and I bet your butt dyno would say "Damn this is a little faster than before".

    Pleas enlighten me. What is your 'setup'? I doubt it is something I haven't seen with my own eyes.

    On a side note. The wheels look decent but I would lose the DEPO Crystal Fogs. They will eventually turn into fish bowls.



    On the photography front. Easy with the burn tool and the contrast.

    why do u think i letft the two resignators and have a 8" canister after the cats"?? no back pressur is no trq....another reason why i did not go with bigger piping from the manifold to cat......u need that back pressur....also another reason i kept the OEM exaguhst manifold cuz i herd headers lose alot of trq ...atleats from the ones i found u gotta have back pressure if u want trq..to much though and u lose mid and top end

    haha i cant spell


    and as far as the fogs go im debating on doing the yeloow film on them as well as the high beams..not sure yet..OEM fogs crack like crazy

    wheels im trying to get rid of...want LTW5's or something simular

    almost as bad as yellow headlights and or fogs. One of the most played out/tacky things I could think of doing.
    It's rice to pose, and to have low quality parts and I simply don't see how equipping an older car to achieve a more up to date factory look is in any way rice,seeing that one uses nice materials and not ebay stuff.


    Cars look pretty good. I think the Evo needs some help but it looks pretty damn good for the most part when the hood is closed. It's different though, which is a +.
    As for the M3, do how others have suggested and throw the obd2 mid-pipe with the factory cats. It will have all the flow/back pressure that you could possibly desire at that power level. My buddy Thomas made 405 whp with a twin screw and stock obd2 manifolds/midpipe. It flows extremely well.
