zero 1162 Report post Posted April 30, 2020 From my research; 1 Try redline for cheap mufflers. 2 You can cut up the factory heatshields from e36/e46 etc and they are surprisingly good. 3 Definitely ceramic coating and make sure you get the insides done too. Heat wrap will shorten the life of your headers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the heat shields need to stick them both sides...quite alot..any racing dude says stainless sheet...still deciding man.. Yep..ceramic ..defs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer the Magnaflows i've watched on youtube - this is on M54's though - LS would sound badass with anything I'd imagine ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
