Which dealer is trying to upsell you?
Sonic MS quoted $150 for installing the exhaust welded. $100 for clamps, but they recommend welding.

That is a fair price for install using clamps. Again, welding is NOT needed.

Maybe you should take it from the guys who made it, eh? If the RPI dudes tell you clamps are fine, clamps are fine. They're stand up fellas

That is a fair price. I personally say that welding is optional and not mandatory.

Hi there, I've been listening to various exhaust options for my 2005 545i sport and the consensus seems to be the RPI system.
Being stuck here in Blighty (well Scotland actually) I was wondering if there have been any RPI products shipped here and how much it's likely to cost?
Even better would be a UK supplier, but I think this might be too much of a niche product for that, but I live in hope!


many thanks

Alan

They got me my exhaust to Dubai for 280 shipped through TNT, which I found pretty reasonable. Good luck! Hope you can find similar deals!
