    that looks in-freaking-sane!

    In a good way.

    If your M3 doesn’t have 3 pedals and 2 doors, I would really consider contacting BMW to confirm the authenticity of your incorrectly badged mid-sized family sedan.

    I had to modify my headers & fab an exhaust on the e30. My welding isn't the best, but it works. Headers & Y pipe are all 304 stainless. Everything after that is mild steel.

    The headers come to 2" collectors. I used a sleeve and a 2" v-band. Due to an ordering mistake, I didn't have a second 2" v-band - that just arrived today.


    I constructed a Y from the dual 2" collectors to a single 3" v-band. All 304 stainless. I ordered a second 3" v-band in mild steel to mate with the rest of the exhaust.




    She's a work in progress. Currently NA, but will be receiving the HX35 that's on my '85 e30 soon.

    Just built some 11deg 3-1 collectors for a max effort twin turbo project. I will get some pictures this week. Sorry for the teaser.

    I was surprised how much the air conditioning was moving my puddle around. Next time I'll just sweat it out, it ruined these welds. Figured I'd post it up since I said I would anyway. Happy belated independence day everyone!

    Cold side charge pipe out of 16 ga stainless. The two NTP ports are for water meth nozzles. I really need to get a foot pedal. Mine didn't work when I got it and I never got a replacement. I can't get the coloration right without being able to pulse the power with the foot pedal.





    Here is a tip for keeping the silicone couplers from blowing off under boost. Instead of welding a bead on the end just flare the ends of the tube slightly. Much easier and it is a much smoother transition in and out of the couplers. Silicone couplers expand and blow up a bit under boost, so it you just have a straight square end on the pipe, it actually exposes a sharp edge in the flow path once the silicone expands from around the pipe, and its even worse if you either weld a raised bead or roll a bead back from the edge.

    To do this just take a vice grip pliers and round over the jaws with a flap disk. Set the adjustment screw so it just barely won't cam over when you clamp down on the end of the tube. Grip down on the end of the tube and bend it. Even 16 ga steel will bend easily by hand. Work your way around the tube bending every 3/16" or so. Takes about 3 minutes per end. Once done touch it up with a flap wheel on the inside and outside of the flare to round over any sharp edges.
