I'm going to do mine at the weekend up in Nuneaton (Custom Chrome well recommended on PH), so once done happy to meet so you can hear it. I figure worst case I hate it (!) and I can revert to stock or aftermarket, which considering the cost of conversion is a risk I'm ok to take at this stage.

PM me next week!
cheers

Foxy...slight problem. I'm only 20 posts in so I can't PM or email. Bah! Let me know when you might be free - very interested in seeing Custom Chrome's work in action. Thanks

I have recently had mine done at Styledynamix in Hayes, great bunch of guys and done a great job.

Happy to meet up and show you the noise if you want.

Are you on PH?

Try this on for size.....

hi all! wondering about the straight pipes mountings.
i'm going to change my stock exhaust into muffler delete / straight pipes one and wondering about the moutings. will it fit the stock ones? what parts is maybe not needed, but could be changed when doing the whole exhaust maintenance?

For anyone looking for a great deal on a delete in the San Francisco bay area, I highly recommend "Exhaust Specialist" in Burlingame. The guy that does the work there, Louie, is fantastic to work with and has decades of experience. You can pull your car right onto the lift yourself, he never even sat in my car during the entire process. I wouldn't have had a problem if he did, but I'm sure many of you prefer to never hand over your keys.

Total process took just under 2 hours and he did it all for only $180, including the cost of the tips. YMMV on the price though of course. I'm not sure what brand of tips he got but they look to be pretty high quality. As for the sound? I can't believe I waited a month since purchase to get this done! I'll just echo the bulk of responses already in this thread, it sounds great, no drone and could be the best low-cost mod for your m5.

Here are the tips he used:
