m3 exhaust or not???

[bigdavid1001]

I may have found a deal on an e36 m3 cat back exhaust. This is a direct bolt on ..... correct? Or are the hangers a bit off in my '95 325is??? I think that this would be great if I could just switch out the onld one and enjoy a new look and slight performance gains. Any help is greatfully accepted.

Yes, you can simply unbolt yours and put the M3 on. My hangars were rusted heavily so I replaced all the hardware. I used all M3 hardware. The hangars are different. They have a metal bracket that probably adds additional support due to the heavier weight of the catback. I'm pretty sure you can use the stock 325i hangars if you want.

The twin exhaust tips are very high quality stainless steel. These really are easy to keep looking good.

The sound is good, but not too loud.

An extra pair of hands would be useful when installing it. It's quite heavy.

I wouldn't count on any HP gains.

better MPG gains though.....I am living proof of that.

it weighs more than your stock exhaust & marginally (sp?) sounds better. i would stay stock
