I wonder if I should get those Dinan tips from Fred and do the same with my car....
Dinan might get a bunch of calls thinking that they make quad systems for the E60. haha

The tips are definitely way too small. I'd find a way to make the dinan tips work, or at the least put some 80mm tips or even 83mm tips.
The 76mm tips might work with the stock bumper or the m-tech bumper, but with the m5 bumper, it just doesn't match.

Thanks for all honest feedback! ![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)
I agree that those tips are too small although they're 76mm or 3" in size. I guess I'd go for 3.5" next time when I have a chance to remodify it.
There is one problem with aftermarket exhaust is that there is no vacuum-controlled exhaust flap as OEM one. With free flow exhaust, car might gain 5 or 8hp at top RPM, but I totally lost the feel of strong low-end torque as before. I love the sound, but I'm thinking about putting old exhaust back and design a solenoid that can open and close exhaust flap with a push of a button or a potentiometer. With this I can control the loudness and low-end torque. This should be a very simple design.
With the OEM exhaust tip, I can clip 90nm over it, but what about the right side?
It'll be dummy? It's a hard solution for me at the moment.
Any input is more than welcome!
