Also, I changed the alternator to the m3 one in order to use the normal connection's.

Sorry for the lack of replys, been trying to get the car running perfect. As for the exhaust, I used a Z3 mid section and a 318ti Catback that came on the car originally. Its a Magnaflow. There was a hole in the resonator so I took it to a mufflershop and they took out the resonator and welded in a pipe in its place. Not sure where you need add the extension but any muffler shop will be able to do it and do it correctly.

The Z3 DME has a different pinout than the standard E36 6cly DME. The wiring harness is also different and would need to be repinned to work correctly in the E36/5. I tried everything to figure out a way to get the Z3 harness to work but without major extensive work it wont work. Save yourself the headache and just get the 328i harness and DME.

Heres a picture of the exhaust, Ill be adding in more pictures soon! Just need to get access to my PC so I can upload them better.
