sorry, i was trying to get to them so they could use my car to design it but my schedule wouldn't allow it. if someone else in the area could jump on that would be great.

 

Thread Update:

Just dropped off my 535 with Eloy yesterday so RPi can design the exhaust, Can't wait to see the final production piece!

Please forgive me if I sound ignorant or unknowing but why can't this fit a 535xi? If it does, I'm interested.

 

Apparently its the way the pipe is bent

 

i'm no expert but it probably has to do with the drivetrain setup interfering with the exhaust, at least that the problem between most AWD and RWD/FWD cars.

 

Guys I just emailed Eloy from RPI to see if he would do custom work for the 535i for an XI setup, which would require minor bending/modification of the pipe close to the transmission area. Will advise, this could potentially be the first full cat-back RPI exhaust for the 535XI. If it is, I'm in.

 

Yes ! More parts for XI, I will be in as well

 

This would be great and it's a full catback so weight savings and of course, the reputable power bump with RPI's exhausts. RPI will give just a slightly sportier exhaust note and true gains. It's louder than Dinan but not as loud as Magnaflow, Eisenmann, Meistershaft, etc. So for me, the Goldilocks zone! I'm working with Vincent from Bimmerzone and have been in touch with RPI representatives. I've done the research, if Eloy from RPI can do this, I'll take the plunge. Keep everyone posted.

 

Release date is 2/1/13 !!!!
