    Umm crap, I think it Grafton. Not 100% sure but it probably close to you guys and I'm willing to drive around especially if I just made my car all sexy sounding . I concur, m60/62 clan. Just need a catchy name because 540 gang was just so great then sticker design can happen at the party this winter.

    That is very close to both of us, and actually where both Zach and I work. So there are plenty of places where we could meet and go for a drive. I will have to take the e34 though, which kind of defeats the purpose of a m60/62 clan meet haha. We will think of a sticker design I'm sure.

      No m60 or m62 here :(

      If I ever join you guys, I'll park far enough away so no one thinks I'm part of the group!!

      Sorry, forgot the S62! You are welcome too of course.

            All good.  It's for the cause.  

            TJ texted me with another exhaust option.  I guess its a not so expensive muffler that has some kind of internal valve that opens at WOT.  

            I wouldn't mind checking that out.  Chopping up exhaust is pretty cheap.

                Here is the entire exhaust from headers back after the scuba tanks are removed. I made the cut directly after the rear axle when installed on the car.

                    I'm toying with the idea of buying another cat back stock exhaust and cutting off the dead end side of the Y, and just using it as a test dummy in general.

                      Just noticed something. If you cut off the dead end, don't you lose an exhaust hanger?

                        Yeah.  I'd have to figure out a bracket.

                        Nothing a welder and a grinder couldn't solve.

                          Doesn't the A in i/A stand for North American model and not automatic? Every e30 I've had except for the euro car had that on the door tag and they all were 5-speeds.

                            Found this on Bimmerforums:

                            "We have been over this a few times. Pre-1991 or so, every American BMW had "525i/A". Then they changed it to 525i for manual and 525iA for auto, and that's how it is today.

                            If you see someone list a car as 525iA that means auto, nobody uses it to say American. 525iM is not official term for a manual but makes sense as the counterpart of the "A" suffix."

                                So I think I need to build a m60 e30 this next year. 

                                2015 goals! I think it would be such a fun daily.

                                          When's the 540 party?  I might just have to do my exhaust mods before then.
