Maybe I missed it, but what's the issue with your section 1? Are you talking about the big gap on the top pipe?Originally posted by bmw m3 s50Now for the second issue. This is the connection point where the section 1 meets the section 2. The defect is in the section 1 piping:
If so, the SS section 1 pipes are not welded together like the stock ones are. They move —and have to be installed— independently of one another.2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - SSV1 - HJS - Mullet Tune - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal

Thank you for bringing this up. I was under the impression that both pipes were connected like the OEM section 1. I opened up the plastic and separated the two pipes. Your right, the two pipes are independent of each other and it makes a difference. This still does not solve the issue with the metal defect with the muffler flange.Originally posted by heinzboehmer View Post

Oh yeah that muffler flange is terrible. Disappointing to see so many fitment issues from SS.Originally posted by bmw m3 s50 View PostThis still does not solve the issue with the metal defect with the muffler flange.2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - SSV1 - HJS - Mullet Tune - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal

I also got the resonated section 2 and street section 3. Mine did not line up perfectly, but not as bad as some of these. I don't have any good photos. We did end up getting in on the car and it's fine with no leaks, it sits a little left of center which bugs me a little but whatever. Such is life. I'm not trying to deal with ECS Tuning who has the worst customer service in the known universe.

Did you also have a gap in the connection points? How did you fix it? Dealing with ECS customer service is my biggest concern at this point.Originally posted by Nate047 View PostI also got the resonated section 2 and street section 3.

My issue is different than yours. I just saw the photos on the last page, yikes. On mine, the two flanges were slightly fucked up on my section 2, they not lined up properly but not so far off that we could not force it to work. I don't have any pictures of it because in the end we got it attached, but like I said I am not happy with the fitment being off center. The exhaust tips are all to the left of center a little.Originally posted by bmw m3 s50 View Post

I hope they are able to resolve your issue somewhat quickly. Think we all know that shipping stuff over here from the EU is not exactly a cakewalk these days.Last edited by Nate047; 11-24-2021, 11:33 PM.
