Does anybody know what kind of metal the stock e92 mufflers are made of?
My buddy and I want to do the exhaust mod but he needs to know what type of metal the mufflers and piping are made of so he knows if he can weld the muffler shut.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably stainless steel. Don't quote me on that though.

Hey Chris I'm 99% sure it's stainless steel. I actually have my OEM exhaust in the shed- let me check for you...which part are you concerned about, the mufflers, the tips?

Do these help at all? I have no idea what they say

Thanks a lot! Ill see if i can find anything with that information. Yeah I'm looking to cut open the mufflers and cover up the perforated pipes with a straight pipe, and then close up the mufflers of course.

Yeah, I still dig it. Can't really go wrong for $300 - so long as it doesn't sound like a Honda lol. I'll update my thread with more videos hopefully this weekend. Been super busy.

I did remove the packing in the outer sections. No rattles. Some drone, which is to be expected. You could probably avoid that if you put the packing back in.

For some reason, I kind of like a bit of drone, which is why I opted to leave it out. Maybe subconsciously, I like it because it drowns out my girlfriends yapping. Idk.

It is definitely not an inconvenience, or in the least bit bothersome.

Edit: You may want to have them install some new tips while you're at it. That's something that I forgot to do myself.

I most certainly do. Get a downpipe ASAP!

How much did the DP install run you? I really wish I could do it myself but I think itll be too much of a PITA without a lift, plus my garage is tight as shit lol not an ideal working space

I installed it myself. My uncle owns a Land Rover specialty shop, so I just threw it on the lift.

I believe that most places will charge around $300 for install.
