Hornung's ZHP Adventure

I busted the flange bolts when taking my exhaust off as well and drove around town for a few days with just the headers. It makes every other sound the car has ever made seem virtually silent. I ended up having the exhaust shop just do a 3in. straight SS pipe all the way back with a single glass-pack where the resonator was. I get compliments all the time about how it's the best sounding e46 they've ever heard, and I think the whole re-welding flange and straight back was roughly $100. Might be worth doing something similar a shot given the price point and see how you like it.

I drove around with catless headers no exhaust for 3.1 miles to the shop. That was obnoxious. If I had cats I wouldnt have worried abou the sound level. But I leave my house as early as 3am...so to be kind to my neighbors I will need a little bit quieter exhaust.

Heh yea, Kristen scared the shit out of our neighbor one morning when she started her 135 with the tail pipes pointed right at him :)

Just got back from the muffler shop. He cant bend 3" piping. So im taking it to a speed shop...and probably having to pay a pretty penny. I need to retorque my exhaust nuts. The leak isn't coming from the flanges. But the appointment is do next Friday with At Speed Motorsports.

Maybe this place is worth a shot ?

I have bought piping from them before when building a 3" exhaust.

Re-torqued header studs. Havent started it yet, but hopefully that solves my leak.
