I'll teach ya how to weld for the style 5s!!!
Ehhh I'll have to think long and hard about that. I don't like the winter wheels very much but if I got those style 42s I could sell them. But I'll let you know, won't be till May I can do any of this anyways.

I realized but compared to their new stuff this is tame. 2011 550i we had at concours for a while with just the Dinan mufflers was way louder than a stock F10 M5 exhaust. This doesn't even have any throat under acceleration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Age may play a factor in the quality if it has been sitting for some time. Straight pipe it...
I was planning on just cutting off the muffler for now till I got the money for a legit system. Eventually I would like to get a Eisenmann exhaust, they sound ridiculously good. Here is a video of what it sounds like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5d2cJ_n8m8 The problem is that system cost $1200 so I have a way to go till I can get that.
I got to see this car in person yesterday, I was honestly surprised at how easy the car was to drift. I guess I just figured the E34 was more of a boat for some reason.

skip the name brand exhaust. these motors sound so freakin good all on there own, and it doesn't take $1200 to get that sound. go down to the muffler shop, have them cut off the stock muffler and replace with a y-pipe and a cheap single pipe 3" muffler like a magnaflow and you will drool at the sound your $300 exhaust makes. a side bonus is that you will lose a ton of weight from the stock can to the smaller aftermarket one.
my m20 e30 with a magnaflow muffler sounded awesome
my m50 swap e30 with a $50 auto parts store 'turbo' muffler sounded awesome
you could also delete the resonator if it was still too quiet for you. here it is on a wimpy m60b30:

Straight pipe it. Or side exit exhaust. Or run open headers.

Straight pipe is probably what is going to be happening for a long time but I'm ok with that.

you and all your neighbors will soon learn to hate your car. straight pipe was cool on my car for exactly 2 days, then the highway drone drove me crazy.
dont just hack off your exhaust because you want more sound but can't afford to do it correctly.

Or do what I did to the e28 delete everything and put in a single glasspack that really woke up my m20

Why not remove the Dinan exhaust and sell it since it should be worth some money. Then either find a stock exhaust and hack it up or have one welded up? Idk if the exhaust routing is the same for our cars but if it is I would trade you my stock exhaust for the Dinan

Dominic's 540 with "muffler delete" sounds amazing.
Im a fan of electronic cutouts, it would be a nice option.
I am worried that the exhaust I am making for my car (just a 14" long resonator) is going to be stupid loud
Glasspack/resonator pretty much the same thing. Have you heard Mikes e28? That's all we put on his car, the glasspack is about there the cats were, and then single pipe out the back. It would be a little loud as a DD if you had a long commute but not too bad.
-
nope, have not heard mikes car, now he is obligated to post burnout videos.
The hope is that the snail acting as ~1/3 of a muffler (rule of thumb) will help it become more acceptable.
A stock Neon SRT4 is probably my ideal volume level and they have just a resonator, cat, and turbine as far as I know

Yes, hopefully next Tuesday we make some more progress on getting an engine and trans in it. Then it's burnout time!!

Hopefully Dominic will chime in but since I've ridden/driven his car I can attest to it being very quiet on the highway and during city driving since the stock resonators are still in place. Check out the videos he posted on his gopro mount thread.
I've heard Mike's 528e too and it sounds good too.
I agree with Earl, even though the Dinan exhaust might be tired it still could be sold and a stock catback would be a good candidate for a muffler delete.
