What you’re seeing above is my third attempt at the exhaust for the V12. (tips weren’t welded) A good change from my mangled AC Schnitzer exhaust. (it’s for sale now). The system above started with just 4 pieces of cylindrical silencers. Sounds really great but was just way too loud.

Then I had the end silencers removed and fitted the rectangular ones you see in the picture at the end. both Vertically fitted for clearance purposes. The rectangular muffler also had a restrictor fitted to further quiet it down.  Sounds More muffled but just doesn’t sound right. Looks real ugly too.

This time, the 3rd time visiting the shop, I got the rectangulars welded to the front, then the little cylindrical silencers, then the X-pipe and then the longer cylindricals. This time, i’m happy. More pictures and sound video to come :)

Some specs of my custom exhaust:

  1. 2.5″ galvanized Pipes
  2. Stainless Steel Silencers
    • 2 x Rectangular muffler + Restrictor
    • 2 x Long cylindrical muffler
    • 2 x Short cylindrical muffler
  3. X-Pipe
  4. 2 x 4″ Tail pipes

Nothing like this of course.

The shop sent some more updates of some completed parts. He’s done the door cards, the seats and the floor lining. I think the pillars’ done too. What’s left now is the custom roof lining that’s going to be done in Red sides and Black suede with diamond stitches running through the center.  :)

Yes, Red is aplenty :) Please Enjoy

I’ve been needing a new interior or at least a reupholstering job since I ever had the car. The roof liner was repaired before, and my door cards were self repaired with staples.  Here’s the latest update on my interior build. I’ve always wanted a good luxurious and in RED. Diamonds are also at the top of my list. So here it is. :)

Here’s the Ericsson M480 full titanium system for the E92 M3. Gotta love the double barrel design which is going to be my base idea for my own stainless exhaust system. Tough the E34 only allows for a single side. I might be getting a custom fuel tank in the future to allow for twins on either side. There are also a couple of other exhaust system in the gallery, namely the Supersprint system for the E60 M5.

E34 550i Bleeding Oil

A trip up to Genting Highlands with Ryan (Z4 MCoupe) and Shaun (S2000) ended at the outdoor parking area where we chilled out for a bit in the chilly and wet weather. The wet and cold surface calls for some donuts and by the 6th and a half baked donut, the V12 spews smoke. Popped the bonnet and more oil sprinkles up and everywhere being flicked from the radiator fan. The V12 is now caramalized from the oil glaze. As for what went wrong, it was an oil hose failure.

Here’s Meguiar’s CEO Barry Meguiar posing with my humble ride. It’s a real pleasure meeting the legend today especially having been a Meguiar’s die hard fan for years. He is here in Malaysia on a business tour along with his great team of Meguiar’s staff. Special thanks to Meguiar’s Distributor, Hypercoat for the media invitation. It’s a shame the car wasn’t detailed prior to this.
