Gents,
I have been away too long. Now I'm back and I want to show you the result of my hard work on my two babies. First, the 996 I recently bought. Upgraded with Fabspeed headers/mufflers, K&N intake, Revo chip tuning, Gemballa interior, aluminum billet pedals, B&M short shift, Ruger 19 in. wheels.
Second, the 545i with M-technik front, OEM M5 rear, real quad exhaust syst. to fit M5 bumper. And the sound of the V8 is superb.
I know gentlemen would like to see & hear the result before all of you give the approved. Enjoy with good taste!!!

Daytrader0,
You have got to bring your sweet ride to the next Socal Meet and Greet sponsored by Wheel Power in Huntington Beach. There will be quite a few modded e60s just like yours. The date hasn't been finalized yet. When it is just click on my link below my signature to find out the specifics.

Gents,
Remember, this is a custom built quad exhaust for 545i. My friend and I took time to research all aftermarket exhaust syst. for 545i. With my knowledge and my friend skills with fabrication, we came up with this setup.
If you are in performance numbers I can't not give, not that this system does not add hp. I don't have access to equipments that can measure it. This setup is for look and sound. I know that aftermarket co. claimed 10-15 hp for their syst. But I know the fact that those numbers will not make much of performance that you can feel. Unless, you are doing a whole nine yards with headers, cats, mufflers, intake, tuning reflashed, larger throttle body, racing flywheel and camshaft to your car then you will get big hp and performance this side of supercharging.
I was just too tired of paying high prices and empty promises for something that I can probably design and fabricate with a help of my friend.

Gents,
Thanks for your kind words!! To read all your compliments and interests made me very happy and satisfy of all the tiring hours working on my projects.
There are few more things I need to do on both cars before the Holidays. I will take a 2 months break and vacation to the South Pacific with my wife and son.
