Im thinking of doing this section from Supersprint because it offers a better X-pipe, and removes flat section on passenger side.

http://www.supersprint.com/ww-en/bmw...x-pipe.aspx#!/

My mechanic recommended oval Magnaflow mufflers because they sound good.

and finish it off with 3.8 inch stainless steel brushed tips..

i shall post a vid when the rain storms pass but i like it much better w/ the vibrant resonators.. in retrospect, the muffler delete sounds obnoxious in comparison.. now the sound is very OEM when cruising but slightly deeper tone at WOT/high revs.. not as loud as a magnaflow muffler i think, but def sounds better than stock

i have also ordered the tips below from ebay
