I highly recommend the B&B. Especially if it is $200 cheaper.
Oh... By the way... CRAP!

My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black. Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

Gerry, Bavarian Autosport's advertisement refers to the system as a "direct bolt-on". Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't there some welding involved to install yours or is it true that it is literally a direct replacement "bolt-on" system. Thanks, Mike

The oem pipe needs to be cut just behind the rear (flat) resonator...the B&B system then uses an exhaust clamp (I believe) to attach at that point. For my install I think I'm just going to have it welded back in.

Then of course there is the hanger issue....Realyman had to have a clamp fabricated to make the system work just right. So at the end of the day it sounds to me like a fairly easy install for a muffler shop...not a direct bolt-in...but at the same time fairly straight forward
