Hi All,
Recently discovered the E60 Forum through my compadre and fellow car freak -- BigartK
The site is a great source of BMW info and fantastic pics
My new 06 530i just arrived at the port yesterday and I anticipate getting delivery next week.
I bought a BB-TriFlo cat-back exhaust system and need to have it installed
Can anyone recommend a competant muffler/exhaust installer -- preferable with mandrel bending capabilities [just in case] in the Union County NJ area?
Would appreciate any comments.
Thanks
BW

Yo Big Wuss,
Welcome to the forum.
I cannot recommend a competent muffler shop in Union County. In fact, you are not likely to find anyone competent in Union County.
As with masterbation, this sounds like a do it yourself project. You know, different strokes....etc., etc.

anything behind the cat is considered a "cat back". At least that's what B&B and other exhaust vendor have told me.

Also it ain't no muffler - its a tuned exhasut system. Plain old mufflers don't increase HP and torque nor do they cost as much.

Based on the knowledge you communicate in your suggestion, it sounds like you're an expert on the subject "at hand"

The bimmer weighs 3,472# and re the other task, I have a bad back and the doctor told me not to lift anything heavy.
I don't have a hydraulic lift, so I can't accomplish either task on my own.

The B&B system replace only the stock muffler, not the resonators. In this regard, it is not "cat-back" and is simply a muffler.
There is also no distinction between a "muffler" and an "exhaust system".
For example, I have a Remus exhaust system on my car. Remus claims it raises hp. But physically, it includes just a muffler, not a cat-back setup.
Also, I've met another 530 owner who installed the B&B in NJ. He just took it to a local Meineke and it turned out fine. Whether you want a more high end shop for your own peace of mind is up to you. Just know that to install the B&B, all that needs to be done is to cut the stock pipe between the last resonator and the muffler, and then mounting the B&B.
