Got My Straight Pipes Installed - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Thanks to Timmay for fabricating the exhaust tips for me! This is the way the car should have sounded when it left the factory, imho. Very glad I didn't spend the money on Eisenmann cans, this helped me buy some other mods I'd been interested in such as the Exotics Tuning Rear Carbon Fiber Diffuser which just arrived today, will post photos of Sabine once I get that installed as well. Let me know your thoughts on the exhaust, here is a very short video of what my M5 sounded like this morning up to what it sounded like after the straight pipes went on. Just a note, these are straight pipes from the resonators back.

straight pipes as in cat delete or resonator delete. im assuming cat delete since thats where straight pipes would go.

sounds good, but revving in a parking lot doesn't give you the full effect, it'll sound different under load, have any WOT drive by vids?

Nothing but the stock cans were deleted, just ran straight pipes from the resonator back.

It's been a very wet and gross day out so didn't want to put my camera man through that, keep posted and i'll have some more drive by videos and maybe some WOT runs from the interior, possibly even some underground parkade vids too. So far it sounds amazing yet if you keep revs below 2k, it's almost like stock!
