    I swapped out mine for a used one back in August. I scraped away or converted any surface rust I found before putting it on. Very pleased with the results.

    Benny, did you weld it on @ the rear silencer or?

    I actually replaced the middle and rear as one glorious used chunk that I got off a guy for $75. The only welding I had to do was on the other side of the cat as I decided to switch down-pipes at the same time.

    Tried building one once. Seen a few do it also. All fail the quality or rear seat drone test. Knowing that I bought a new Eissenmann for the M50. About USD $300 here in Oz. Got a new muffler too for about the same dollars. They bolt together with two special joiners- and bolt up to the cat directly. Sounds nice, works perfectly, car runs like new . M50 ECUs like to know their combustion is good.

    Beware, 525 has three or more tailpipe ocnfigurations so it can be trouble mixing up one muffler with another resonator.
