hello

I have spent ages trying to work out how to show pictures like that? how did you do that? the exhausts are strange the chap I purchased them from said they where fitted by BMW when he purchased the car? he had it from new + there is a BMW stamp on them? I will take some photos as you correctly said they are not stock exhausts
regards

mmmm thats strange, so far as I know the only parts BMW would fit att he time were AC Schnitzer.

If you can take some close up pics we may be able to tell.

They are not eisenmanns but could be supersprint ?

Would be even stranger if stamped BMW :rtm:

I will try and take some photos underneath today, the exhausts do sound good low down and very quiet when cruising.

The corvette is still in the same condition and only done 15000 miles from new, it was purchased from Rogers corvette usa (google it)

Galvanised chassis and fiberglass bodies, this one handled very well, and yes it did go round corners ... but only produced 300bhp but the torque was very high 365 ibs/ft if I remember correctly.
