The tips are staggered the wrong way as well. The left tip is out further than the right when it is supposed to be the right tip further out than the left (looking at it from the rear). Also if this is the 545 or m5 design then you are going to lose a ton of low end power. The i6 already lacks low end but if your pipe diameter is that much bigger you will lose a ton.

How did you mate the pipes being such differing diameters?
Uh no, it is staggered correctly, the inner tip is longer than the outer tip

wow way wrong, a dyno was shown for this exhaust on the 530i and it gained power throughout the entire band except for the peak drop off point
