Absolutely brilliant car. What kind of exhaust system does it have - original manifolds then one or two silencers?

@LashoutUK BMW M88 headers, 2,5" secondaryrunners into a single 3" system with a single 250mm long oval muffler at the end.

Glad You like my car! :D

Dog leg 4spd? Obviously I'm not a Bimmer guy, but that thing is trying to convert me.

Nice driving also... Any estimated(even ballpark) 1/4 mile times?

@72rockcruiser

best 1/4 time is 12.09 and180kmh:

@SkywalkerTibor

No one says its better, but it suits the car better and is more fun to work with, injection is to easy to tune :D

This setup actually has more power than stock due to better breathing and better headers also tuned fuel and ignition.

Hi mate i have an e34 m5 (s38b36) could you tell me pls if i follow your setup, how much hp i gain? because i love normally aspirated engines and i don't want to buy a turbo kit.

And i have one more question: I know in this matter it is no point, but for me could be interesting: Doues the fuel consumption increase much?

Thx for your answer in advance

Nice sounding car, the only trouble is if yer a tuner you'll never be satisfyed, maybe this emulsion tube will work better, how about an air bleed change, and on and on. The trouble is temp and air pressure change, so ya gotta compromise and let it be, until the next urge to see what this change will do. If yo manifold the air bleeds togeather you can change the mixuture from inside. I made two stage bleeds but never perfected it, you can lean it for top rpm through the bleeds.
