    A cat-back exhaust adds 0whp and 0wt to a stock E30. The stock one is good. Mine had intake(no high beam)/chip and you'd still walk it. If you take the cat off you can get 6 crank hp + another 20 with supersprint headers. I'd like to see you run an I with intake/chip/full exhaust. That would be fair.

    Try to find one with a stock M50 2.5 vanos swapped motor. Thats the 93+ 325i motor which is only rated 21hp more. If you never go to the track then you'll be hard pressed to find an E30 I with headers. Almost all of them on the street are super eta 2.7's, swapped, or stock I's.

    If you'd made this thread two years ago...haha. I have a friend with an M50 swapped E30 that would be perfect but i'm almost positive he won't street race (road racing only). My good friend has a stock one with suspension but its got 300k+, compression thats only getting way lower than it has and speakers to weigh it down..you'd destroy it. He's currently doing some sort of rebuild and prob a super e.t.a. Another good friend is in the process of doing an M52 obd1..that would be better for 2005+ GT manual. What are you selling it for?
