supersprint has a universal exhaust system. i believe a few of them are called "magnum". basically its a muffler with the tips and not the piping. so, you would have to go to a muffler shop to do the piping (the part that connects to the cats). it's a whole custom job which is not really in tuned to the performance side of things. it's more or less a compromised "muffler" to please every car out in the streets. so, that's why i mentioned to get something that is more specific to your (his/her) make because that's what you pay for. the research and developement rather than have a shop do their r&d in 30 minutes. hope that helps.

I was told that if the part no is different than what's SuperSprint recommends then there will be significant loss of power.

Don't buy the universal "Magnum" type for your E36.

Anybody have any comments ?
