      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.

                      S63 E30's are better.

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

                                Would I still be allowed with my 525?

                                  So we're getting together on the 28th for beer and exhaust cutting of epic proportions.  I'm bringing a welder and grinder and possibly a growler or two.
