i remember that one guy had a jardin, the one you are talking about.  i dont know if he visits the board anymore he upgraded to a f4i but i would imagine the performance would be basically the same as the vance and hines.

No it wont fit without some modifications because of the new oil cooler..... if you would have asked your last question first then you would have gotten a faster more accurate answer

Okay look, first off, have you even SEEN a Jardine exhaust? Have you ever found one? Have you even seen one for sale? I have NEVER seen one for sale, and I've seen it ONCE on ONE GS. They haven't been made since the mid to early 90s, and even then it was designed with the OLD GS in mind, meaning I highly doubt it will work with the F due to the oil pan bolts, just like I've said in EVERY OTHER THREAD you've asked about exhausts.

Good luck even FINDING a Jardine, much less getting one to work. Why don't you try finding a Hindle system? They're even MORE rare.

When it comes to exhausts, ANY can will work (with the proper mods). A dude put a can from an STi on his GS. I have the muffler from my '81 BMW 320i sitting in my yard. It fell off when I hit a speed bump. It's yours if you want it. Buyer pays shipping.

He wants a full system. Bolt ons don't make it go fast enough :laugh:

I'm telling you though, that Bimmer is farking hot. That can is just sitting there, next to the car, wasting away. It's spring baby, let's mod!
