916_M5 Muffler Tech Florin was fantastic to work with on the install.

Did your tips fit properly? Drivers side hanger tab on the outlets is positioned so you cannot get the inner pipe tip to slide back, unless you want the tip stick out way past the bumper cover. So my tips are clocked to fit right. Not terrible but unfortunate.

I think my Tips fit well and straight (not crooked - I've seen some set up with crooked tips). They did mention something about having to very lightly tack weld the tips to fit properly. I cannot remember exactly. But my tips do not stick out too far at all, if anything I wish they stuck out a tad more. A picture for reference would be nice .
They will fix any issues you have, easy shop to work with.
Glad you like your new set up!
Just curious, do you have a custom plate ? Or a carbahn badge on your car?

Both. Like the old "Dinan" days if you spend so much money they stick a badge on your car. Not my normal thing but I thought I'd let it ride for now, they asked politely.

I have had a few buddies see your car around in EDH! Nice to finally "meet" the driver behind the car. You should come out to a EuroSunday or a Cars n Coffee here soon!

Glad you were able to get the system installed RobRed!

If you are still not thrilled about tip fitment feel free to DM me a pic or two and I would be happy to troubleshoot with you as needed.

Should not need to weld/modify the system, we can get it dialed in for ya

Have a switchpath on my car with catless downpipes sounds awesome with crazy pops and bangs still on stock tune so it totally transform the sound from stock but is probably to loud for most people.

The fitment is not the best in the rear though the left pipe is a bit to close to the diff and the tailpipe clearance to the bumper had to be adjusted down with washers but it's still not exactly even with the right side tailpipes.
And the right tailpipes are a bit to close together.

This exhaust will not fit a EU spec LCI car with stock downpipes because the EU LCI downpipes has flanges instead of slip on with clamps connecting the downpipes to the first section of the exhaust.
