    E36 M3 Exhaust on 1997 328is

    I’m trying to swap the cat back on my 1997 328is with an oem m3 exhaust because of the tickets I’ve been getting. But it seems as if the m3 exhaust has no clips or hooks to hold itself up. Only the 4 bolts that connect the pipes. Is this normal? I’ll try toattach a pic of my exhaust that’s on the car and the m3 exhaust. Thanks

    Pic doesnt work for me. There should be brackets and hangers on the muffler though.

    Would have to delete the spaces. But took a look and I see that I need the 2 brackets. The Previous owner welded them to the catback that’s on the car now. So I’ll have to pick up some new ones online or at dealer. Not sure where it would be cheaper. Thanks

    ^^^^ need those brackets to go around the lip of the muffler to attach it at the back.

    Looks e36328iss exhaust has part of it but they may have welded it together.

    I have a pair complete that i would be willing to sell if you need them. They have just been taking up space
