Ok...so far dealing with Abid has been a positive experience. He is a gentleman and I am very satisfied with him and ASR up to this point. Exhaust came in yesterday. Installed this morning. Looks...well, I don't really care about that. Its steel and shiny. Fine. Install went well. Fits perfectly. Sound...it is by far the best sound I have heard on either M5 or M6. Its deep and it rumbles. Its not raspy, which I tend to not like, so that worked out perfectly. The sound is perfect. Volume...well loud is not the word. It is extremely loud. At first, I was thinking it might be a bit too loud. Thats my first impression. Now, I just got back from lunch. I opened the convertible to see how bad it was and it actually seems to sound better with the top down. Radio has to be turned higher otherwise I can not hear it clearly. Performance, I have yet to push it so that remains to be seen. At idle its not bad. The second you put a load on it, it screams. I am a little fearful of what the neighbors may say...and of course the police. Overall I love it. I will post more as I drive with it. Great job ASR!!!!
