Sup buddy! You don't have to take off the Bumper as the Diffuser on the M-Tech bolts off. EuroRev has somebody they outsource the work to but they indeed had it done. (I believe the guy posts here on the Forums)

I'm now torn:

replace with M-5 Bumper(entirely)as doing this will give me multiple Diffuser options(Hartge-ACS-Hamaan-M5 Carbon Fiber)
or
Keeping the stock 550 Sport Bumper and going with completely custom and refined Diffuser look such as Black Carbon Fiber (much better than current?

What I have now could be awesome if it were more refined and stylish. I really need to research it better. EuroRev kinda did a rush job so I could get my exhaust installed before this weekend. Their Carbon Fiber Diffuser customizer folks will have to provide some input in a two weeks when they re-open their shop.

Help me out guys---what kind of diffuser look would you go with?

Go with the M5 bumper. First of all it's rare and unique, you got the beast that can run with the M5, and the M-tech rear is a "dime a dozen" now. It seems like now everyone and their mother got the M-tech rear (even though I'm about to get one, lol), but not an M5.

Not to mention, as you mentioned, "replace with M-5 Bumper (entirely) as doing this will give me multiple Diffuser options (Hartge-ACS-Hamaan-M5 Carbon Fiber)".

You most likely used this :

Rev3 stepped inlet, 2", 2.25" and 2.5" all in the same exhaust.

It says on my receipt "2 Remus 4 1/2 Round Universals". I'm checking with owner of Triple AAA for the exact part number. Pic is attached.

BTW everybody! This job is phenomenal. I have lost "ZERO NOTICEABLE TORQUE". I've been driving her all morning and the car is lighter and faster across all rev ranges. No Dyno to report but once I get my re-map back from EuroRev and I will put her on rollers with Jessie at Speed Innovations in Van Nuys.

Can't say how happy I am with this job enough. TRIPLE AAA is the SHITE!

does location of the xpipe matter? should it be closer to the mufflers, or closer to the cats?
