Dual exhaust, lol.

As long as the engine is a V or boxer then duals are acceptable.

dual exhaust just doesnt look right on bmws of this vintage. its also not worth the extra cost or work over single: extra piping, two mufflers, extra cutting of the valance, more weight, etc etc.

i'm going for a big single oval exhaust tip when I redo mine.

[YoungCR]

I would just run dual lengths along the stock routing, I agree it would take some work to be "symmetric"

I will likely go with a single exhaust with an inline muffler and electronic cutout bypass for when I want it loud.

I second this!

[andyhundley]

Those wheels are so dreamy! If you ever decide to sell them, Ill be your guy!

(BTW I actually test drove that red sedan that your wheels came off of in Detroit like 6 years ago. It was really clean then but it doesn't look so hot these days.)

I couldn't find another set for sale. What's the going rate in 16X7.5s?

[Earl]

Depends on the condition. If theyre mint I would say around $1000

[CMart]

Interesting. I don't think there is another set for sale in the states right now.

[wasnt m3]

Maybe not right now but quick Google search shows random sets from the past couple years anywhere from $600-$1750.

[Earl]

I split the difference=)

[CMart]

I'm happy with them. And I don't plan on selling the car now with all the hours I have into it.

[Rowleym]

Do you have another wheel setup for when you want to use your v8? Those look great for sure.

Edit.

Keeping my eye out for something 9" or wider for the rear, but I don't mind roasting some tires.

[straight6pwr]

You wont want anything wider than 8" unless you plan on super stiff suspension and fender work or widening. 225/235 is pretty much maxed out which fit great on 8". It's much better to do a stickier 235 than going to 255.

[GunMetalGrey]

You are on a 16 right? 
225/45/16 is about the biggest you can fit up front with a roll
What are your wheel specs? Offsets etc. 

I am on 16x8 square, +20 with 225/45/16

[CMart]

The wheels I have on there now are 7.5 and it looks like I have a ton of room out back.

I agree though sticky > wide.

[CMart]

16x7.5 et25

I only care about wide for the rear. Fronts are whatever.

In other news I ordered all my brake line stuff yesterday. Once the booster bracket gets made I get to have some brake line bending fun.

What did you get for a flaring tool? I will be needing one at some point.

From what I read, its hard to find ISO flares at parts stores to rent and when you can the dies are worn from improper/too much use.

I got that along with a cutter and bender. 

I'll lend it out once I am done with it to anyone who needs it.
