I'd also be curious about the pipe size- That's not a lot of engine for a dual set-up. I would doubt power-gain on a 530- BMW has squeezed every last bit of power from that engine, and optimized the factory exhaust.

Yea I made the second cutout in the bumper. Was pretty easy. Piping used was 2.25 to help with the back preassure and the xpipe usedalso helped with that. It didnt lose any power but at the same time it didnt gain anyrhing. The smaller pipes and xpipe is really what helped it. Tips used were 2.25 in and 3 out. RPI Scoop and BMC air filter that i have put in prob helped it too.
