Thanks. Anyone know where I can get a MAE exhaust ? Or any ideas on a custom exhaust? Magnaflow, flowmaster, resinator or none? I want it to sound mean and deep thanks

There are threads of aftermarket exhausts, I personally like Borla but Magnaflow should sound good.

There are mufflers made to bolt in to W124 but they are pricey $800 - 1300. I just sold a Remus and the buyer is putting it on his....Jetta :eek: I've run a Supersprint but it wasn't deep.

Brabus mufflers pop up for the m103/104 w124's every once in a while for not very much money.

How much did you cut out of your rear springs? I am curious.

shenagles 07-09-2010 01:45 AM

i'm curious about the difference in sound no resonator makes.

rivcal4life 07-09-2010 02:34 AM

I had no resonator on my 300e, and decided to put it back on. It was more noticeable inside the car than out. Not having one drowned out my music and telephone calls. There was almost no difference when listening from outside, other than a sort of buzzing (resonating !) noise. Not a nice exhaust note at all.

Try finding a muffler that is made for an inline six with around the same displacement (maybe from a 2jz or an e34, e36, e39, e46 M BMW) to adapt, and you should be able to achieve something more desirable.

speedracervroom 07-09-2010 02:44 AM

Thanks for the ideas guys. Yes I love the brabus style tips what ever I come up with ill have those style tips made but I want to do dual setup I photoshoped a test pic of my idea ill post it later

pifcat2 07-09-2010 04:28 AM

I forgot this is for wagons, there aren't too many bolt in performance options. The best I think is the Camaro Magnaflow a member used. It's perpendicular like stock and has single inlet and two outlets...

Little teaser

What color is that? I'm sure itll look killer once everything is back together.

What is your total on paint and body work so far? $$

Are they going to paint the plastic trim?

speedracervroom 07-14-2010 01:15 PM

Sorry for the double post didn't think it uploaded. Yea I have the newer panels that he has painted. Paint for traded for some old jdm parts I had from when I was in the honda scene. Can't wait to see it finished when I get back from chicago. I'm also thinking about painting the face of the Mae's black what do yall think?

oh this is awesome speedracervroom! I just looked @ a dark gray one on EBay here downunder for my wife & they want over 8 times this price :eek: It's been resprayed but there is chemical spill down block from head so......think it has a blown head gasket & they've used rad stop leak bugger it! Coolant was very watery & oil dark & thin too.....oh well

Can I ask what you used to smoke the lenses? I've been thinking along the lines of this for mine instead of forking out $550 for smoked headlights down here. We can't use the US spec ones that are cheaper due to different beam direction due to left hand drive. Illegal here & my cars modded enough without attracting more attention lol

:y to yours though. I luv em!!!
