Finally made my new exhaust
First, thanks so much to Jay (Multiplex on bimmerforums.com) for lending me the lift time once again and letting me borrow his bandsaw! We managed to make my exhaust in about < 2hrs. Its 3.0" mandrel bends welded straight no cat to a dynomax 3" in 3" out muffler with a quick and easy stainless steel 3.0" tip. We fabbed the mounts for the muffler custom and the mounts to the underbody custom. Works great. Not the QUIETEST setup out there, but compared to an open down pipe, its great! Car drives from idle much better and feels like it has more power (clutch slips sooner haha). I can now hear the open wastegate light up and the tial valve much better. Thanks again Jay!
Thinkin about doing a 3.5" tip, but for now its fine.

Noob question time:
How come you had to ditch the dual tips for this new setup?
Practical question:
How do you like those Kumho's in the rain and bad weather...if you even bother driving the car in bad weather, that is?

sleeper look!
I would take it for a 518 or a 520 because of the single tip.
A turboed M50b25 deserves more than that.
