GT exhaust, what to do with it?

[Bill Oxley]

Does anyone have a good idea what to do with a used GT exhaust?

Needless to say, many are removed for after market, like me, but seems wasteful to throw it in the trash. Looks like new, guess it should with 600 miles.

Save it so that if it becomes necessary to return the car to 100% stock you can readily do so.

The stock e39 M5 exhaust from my '01 was so hideous, bulky, and heavy, I tossed it, when I put on the Tubi Style.

A couple years later, I did wish that I had kept it. I sold the car.

As much a pain in the butt it is, do your best to keep all your stock parts, no matter if you personally never plan to use them again. You just never know.

At 60 lbs it might make a good boat anchor. Especially since it’s made of Stainless Steel and with those long exhaust tips should dig into the mud real good.

One of the M5 board members planted his old exhaust in his garden as a scarecrow.

It was soooo hilarious. The picture was too funny.

A stock M5 exhaust is not a pretty sight.

Any interest in selling the muffler. If so send me a pm with asking price. PD

If any of you guys are going to throw away your "take off" parts I am always interested. I would gladly pay the shipping to Kalifornia. I collect junk, just ask my wife. Thanks, TI :biggrin

I have been thinking of replacing my stock exhaust. What is the best route to go?

Not to be trite, but the search button is your friend. :thumbsup There are many posts on this question. Reading through some of the forum history will help you out.

Has anyone gutted and reworked the internals to provide more flow, less restriction and maintain appearance authenticity?

Thought for the day:

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory!

Agree

There are also audio clips you can find of the system in the "exhaust compliation". Search a little - you'll find more than you ever wanted to know. :thumbsup

take off GT parts

Just a reminder, back in the 60s and 70s, everyone with a hot car yanked off their smog pumps and pitched them. Just try and buy one now and see what they are worth. I'd be hoarding every nut and bolt. :thumbsup
