      True!ย 

      Just ordered the 3" to dual 2.5" Y pipe, so 2.5" it will be! Which means I need to buy 2.5" stainless now...

      I forgot to mention that every single exhaust piece is 304 stainless, and holy crap did that get expensive quick. I got 18' of 3" tube, so I probably got way too much considering my resonator is 25" but its better to give the guy more than not enough!

      That last one took a bit, the oil drain line almost touches the manifold and I didn't want it to end up looking like crap so I wrapped each portion of the fittings individually, I think it turned out pretty decent.

          Very nice, I like the 2.5" as well.ย  My e30 has a magnaflow with dual 3 inch tips and they seem kinda big.

            I liked the 3" tips, but 2.5" will look good too. I'll buy a foot of that 3" stainless if you have any left over. Gotta delete the muffler on my car :)

            Gold looks good. Factory tails look good. Your face looks good.

            Are you going to get actual tips or just use some stainless pipe?

              I browsed tips and they all looked silly, almost all e30's just have pipes out the back and that is what looks best in my opinion.

                                        I was thinking the same thing.

                                          I have never seen it or heard of it done that way. And a quick Google search shows 98% of cars with the front wheels on the dolly.

                                          Why risk having the front wheels track wrong ?

                                          Edit: U-haul's website and instructions also state that the car MUST have the front wheels on the dolly.
