Stromung so underrated in tone. Love mine on the e36

In the back of my mind however I still want to do a true equal length stepped header that’s equal length at the section 1-2 joint. Just for the noise.

The only reason I initially S54 swapped my wagon was because I had a set of Kromer Kraft headers. They were old and tired but sounded amazing. They needed some repair and were pulled in favor of a "temporary" euro setup. I think that was 4yrs? ago, lol. My spring goal is to get them back on and I'm probably going to make a muffler to quiet everything down as I can't really buy anything I like at least that I can find.

Going from E36 to ZHP, I think there's room on the table to make more power and be similar sound level even if you are guessing at some parts of the design. IIRC we saw a ZHP left 15whp on the table vs a Stromung conversion muffler, Dinan or BMW Performance mufflers (E36 was even more than that).

I hate slip fit connections, so terrible for working on "used" exhausts. I always smear them with anti seize and that seems to just only kind of help, ugh.

Im kind of surprised you haven't decided to make your own muffler haha.

I looked into purchasing exhaust modeling software but it’s prohibitively expensive unfortunately. Not worth attempting to guess and check there. Ha!

No mounting tabs or bolts on my conversion muffler - I've got metal rod "J" tabs that the stock hangers thread through then the hanger bolts to the chassis floor. I don't think there's room in there either in any case, it kinda had to be where it landed.

Ah, that makes sense.
