This is what I took out:

And this is what it looks like from underneath (two original OEM resonators, two mufflers and pipe to the tips - nothing else:

And look at all the room (weight gone) after removing the OEM mufflers:

Ohh, it will be really LOUD and will definitely drone between 1500 - 2200 rpm. Look at the link in my sig. Many people have gone true dual (quad at the end). All you have are a total of 4 resonators.

Following up on this - have been away for a while. I forget if I posted a sound file...

The sound coming out of this exhaust set up is great. It is a deep growl and at 75-80 in 6th gear it is deeper still.

On acceleration it is pure muscle - no pussy BMW sound - this is a serious V8 sound.

The one thing we could not do is connect to the coil - anyone know where the heck it is??? We could not figure a way to tap into it without splicing into a wiring harness...

Check out the sound.

Let me know if anyone is interested - Jim can fabricate it on the spot in a morning or less.

Regards,
Santiago.
