    Exclamation E21 Custom 2.5 Inch Exhaust Pt. 2 FINISHED!!!!

    What is up everyone!!! My bestfriend and I have finished the rest of the exhaust on the E21, And OHHHH BOI is this thin mean when it is straight piped, It is also much quieter with Magnaflow muffler on it. I have the pictures and a video for you all to watch. If you can not view the video, just let me know and I will edit it so that you can watch it.
    I am still having an issue of the exhaust resting on the subframe even after having the hangars installed. So only minor adjustments will be made to keep the exhaust from resting and hitting the subframe. It turned out pretty nice though!

    Nice! I always hated when putting the exhaust back on meant adjusting it until it stopped hitting things

    Thanks!! Sorry that the pictures are rotated, I have no idea why they keep doing that. The only rattling that occurs is when I start it up, other than that it doesn't make a peep...but that's because it literally is resting on the rear beam!! Other than that, its pretty good, When we put the M20 in, the 2.5 inch will be kept(Thinking for the future!)

    Looks great! I'm not brave enough for straight pipes but I like your style.

    I'll say I was happy to find a muffler shop that did quality work for cheap. I'm a diy guy but I draw the line on that because it can be a lot of work. Looks like you handled it well.

    Looks good, but for future reference the slip joints are facing the wrong direction. I doubt you will ever see a difference, but for the "best" flow they should be flipped around.

    Thank you!!! It sure was a lot of work but it is such a great learning experience doing this. Cant wait to show you all more of what is to come of this build.

    Thanks for the reference on that, I had no idea that there was a specific way to put them on. The more you know right???
