great job and idea Don 
looks great.Just a question out of curiosity.
Why didnt you place the left muffler in the normal horizontal position like OEM and you mounted it vertically.I mean there is space on the left side.

Not bad and very good value for money. I'm keen to listen to the result though - something similar to daytrader's setup ? He's done a custom job like you as well.
PS. is that also a custom x-pipe ? - I see the the 2 exhausts but fail to see the 2 extra tubular silencers you mention...

Because the one in the right needed to be that way. For looks its better for both to look the same. I could have opted to intall the tubular ones but he just atached to the exhaust pipe without weldingin it for me to hear and was to lous.
I will post more pictures and clips when i get my car back. Still at the dealership becasue the CIP program crashed twice when uploading it

Looks GREAT man!! Please publish the muffler specs (size, brand, model if able) and the tips too so others like me can get our local exhaust experts to duplicate... Looking forward to hear the sound too- Post soon friend...
Cheers.

I have not seen daytrader's car though.... the X-pipe was a part he has in stock. he did not make it, it came that way. the additional silencers are not seen on the pic because I installed them a few day after this pictures. as soon as i get my car back I will post more pics...my SA just called me and my car computer crashed again when doing the CIP upgrade ...they have open a Puma ticket to BMW and waiting response..AYAYAYYYY....maybe it gets easier for them to swao my 550 for an M5...who knows ...wishful thinking

Hey Don Juan, where in So. Fl. do you live? What shop did your exhaust system? Very anxious to do the same mod. Are you close to Doral, Fl.?
no Im west of Fort lauderdale very north of you but I had to go all the way south todo it. Miami muffler is the one that did it before to all myc ars and i completely forgot about them. they do so many high end cars there...they have all the machines there to bend the exhust pipes as you car needs without any additional cuts. very very good job.
I need to get the specs of y install so you can see but the pics are posted already. I need to post more details and a sound clip, but have been traveling andnow im in phoenix for another day...
