Well, I decided to try this setup and got it installed today. Here are a couple of shots on how it looks. All in all, with the price considered, this was a good value and I think it looks good. The sound is a tad deeper than stock and no droning what so ever. The installer had to play with the right side a tad to get it away from the left side of the bumper. The bumper is an OEM M5 bumper. I was really surprised how easy the bumpers are to take off and put on, 30 minutes off and 30 minutes on. The wheel well screws slow you down :-). The muffler shop charged me 150, bumper was 600 and painting it was 400 :-(. Not too bad of an expense. The tips stick out a tad, but considering the price, I'll accept it.

 

Any sound clips? The tips stick out a bit too much for my taste though. But looks good.

 

i got the same exhaust but on a reg oem bumper



i like the subtle note it produces over stock but maybe removing the resonator just to hear the difference

im also planning to switch the tips soon

 

Heh there, notice your profile DALLAS!!! I took it over to Kens Muffler on Northwest Hwy, across from Bachman Lake, real great place. I have taken all my jobs over there and been happy with his service. I was wondering what tips your looking at, kind of give me an idea too.

Thanks

 

i took it to 2 places

brothers and aa mufflers

brothers installed it... aa tried to put on the tips, i say try cause they couldnt do it without readjusting the pipes and it was too late

so now im gonna go to a bigger place and have new piping bent and installed so the can can mount a lil further in allowing for the tips to be more flush

this exhaust wasnt made for reg bumpers so this is needed for mine

im going to put on 3.5" oval tips in the rear

 

looks sweet. where are the screws to remove the bumper?

 

There are 4 screws that literally attach the apron to the bumper. They are right by the tail lights on each side (2 per side). Then you have the small 4 screws in each well, that will turn to 3 when installing the oem m5 bumper and that is it! It really amazed me how simple it was. Nothing at all like the front...

 

i want that trunk finisher, anyone knows where to get it?

 

I don't think it's trunk finisher ... That's an LCI trunk ...

 

looks great, post some video sound clips - maybe a driving one?
