Went to American Muffler in Westbury this morning. Got my exhaust installed. Was going to go with Cherry Bomb again like I did on the 545i. This time, it's Vortex muffler. But the muffler was too long and wouldn't fit. It would be too much work to get them to work. So we opted to go with the muffler delete instead.

This time around, we painted the Porsche Cayenne style tips gloss black. Goal is to have no chrome on the car.

Gloss black tips

Installed on the car. (Taken from my phone) It's raining here in NY. So better pics and videos to come.

Nice it looks sick and its something unique. You should change the license plates, that yellow ruins the color flow, why don't you get the customized ones like BMWCCA ?

I'm going to get my original custom plates put back on. The blue and white plate. When I sold my car, I got the DMV to store my plates. I got to get my paperwork and pick it up.

It does. Had a 335i pass me and staring at me with a confused look. Now it'll really screw with them. I'm waiting for someone to pull up next to me and ask what muffler I got to make the 525i sound like that.
