Just wanted to take a moment and say hi to all. Came into a 93 525i which needs some fixing up. This is my first BMW, would like a newer one but I guess beggers cant be choosers right?! Be en reading through all the posts and thier are alot of knowledgable people who are members and I've learned a lot aready to fix a bunch of small stuff - thanks.

Need to replace the resonator back but wanted to stay away from oem replacement seeing the cost will be around $1200.00, will replacing them components needed with aftermarket equipment cause me to have any back pressure problems? Is their anything I should look out for? Found a shop that can outfit me with what I need for about $300. I'm just concerned that it wont run right without the oem parts. I'm not building a racer or anything just need it to be quiet and run right.

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance and I look forward to all future posts from everyone.
