VERY HARD TO DO THESE WELDS... you guys notice how flat the welds are.. thats a great weld.. some times you`ll see welds that look bubbled.. thats a weak weld more likely to crack.. but the flat weld is so strong.. it will last 20x longer then a bubbled weld...

Here are some manufacturer's description:

-Downpipe-back Exhaust
-Mandrel bent, tig welded, completely divorced piping maximizes airflow(no X-pipe)
-Hand-built mufflers and 3.5" tips
-100% bolt on
-High Quality Flanged Construction makes for easy installation (No Slip Joints)
-Gains 12WHP and 9WTQ over stock.
-High Flow Catted version Available!
-We will warranty any manufacturing defects on the system for as long as we are in business.

MacFly - Can you ask Nick if the 535i exhaust kit can be also installed on a non-M E60? This way we can have more interest for this quad setup.

Hey Everyone. John sent me a link to this thread. I'm impressed with the amount of responses its received so far so this is definitely something we're going to look into now. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to keep up on this thread and respond. Also, you can email me at nick@autobahnexotics.com and I'll be able to respond a bit quicker.

JCool,

Not sure if I understand what youre asking about a non-M 5 series... do you mean a non-M5 bumper? or a non-M-Tech bumper?

-Nick
