Seems the tanks will randomly leak regardless so maybe there is no control anyway!

Back to your comment about AWE, I have had 2 touring exhausts with pretty good fitment on prior Audis… but the switch path on my s4 was cursed and the valves would randomly start malfunctioning.

Seems the reviews for the m5 have been decent. Its a good note with downpipes and the price is reasonable.
Interesting point about the steel I might have to test out the before and after of the heat dissipating from the heat shield. If I get a chance lol. And oh boy I was on the same boat. I originally came from a b8 s5 back in the day. But bmw dynamics are subpar!!
