Little rare drone
Sound gains probably twice as loud and double the burbles and crackles!
In short worth it

Hate to revive an old thread but I'm curious as to how this worked out. And which resonator you went with.

So i have experimented with

Magnaflo X Pipe

Straight pipe

Dinan x pipe

My personal opinion straight pipe is the way to go.

Haha ya of course you are. For what $7k? You should be happy. Just looking to spice up oem exhaust as this is a lease and I find it lacking for a V8 M. Sounds more like a m550i should

How was the drone though. I heard it can be pretty rough. And did you remove the second cats as well or just resonator?

Did you do secondaries DP or just have them cut them.

Don't suppose you have a clip of your straight pipe set up?

I think your mental calculator needs to be re-calibrated

Under $3200 for the whole set up. All brand new parts from a vendor on here 500 for the ER secondaries, 485 for the Dinan x-pipe, 2k for the rear section, 200 for the CG valve controller

Current Setup Remus Catback (straightpipe) and Secondary catless. Video doesn't do justice but it's at least 40% louder than stock and love the tone. May need to make video with better mic.

ER secondaries are almost $800 now so might hike up little bit.

Still nowhere near $7200 like he was implying. Dude drives an F90 M5 and is trying to pinch pennies for exhaust notes. GTFOH

Yeah it was $1999 brand new, install was $140 to cut 2 pipes and clamp on the rear section. Shop around a little before you convince yourself of numbers like $7k for exhaust

The fact that you think $4k is pinching pennies is pretty snobbish friend. Yes I didn't realize the rear section of the GThaus was only $2500 (don't see $2k) but all those other items are over $4k combine that I've seen and the cost isn't so much the issue but the fact that this is a lease so I'm trying for simple. But thanks for you opinion on my monetary situation. And for the record that figure was in jest. You listed a bunch of items so I tossed out an aggressive figure.
