What is this aftermarket exhaust?

This is the aftermarket exhaust on my M5 but I can't find any markings or any made in %&$ on it. I was hoping one of you recognized the tips and could help me out finding what I actually have on my beast!
Thx another Noob

Wow definately aftermarket with the single silencer twin tail design. You have me baffled as up until your post I was certain that only Britalman produced tips that were welded together.

Maybe some custom job, how does it sound?

It is very loud especially around 1.5k - 2K and just sounds mean above that. At my PPi from a local BMW shop they actually noted "very loud aftermarket exhaust" my guess would be that it was not custom but aftermarket. Now you have me even more interested!

Could they be a B&B system? I have used Billy's mufflers before and look like that type of construction.

That sure looks like it must be the B&B Tri Flo system. Does your car have an x-pipe also? Or factory resonator?

You can find out more about B&B Tri Flo at www.bbexhaust.com

Oh, and by the way, if you have the energy in this dreaded heat, some Mothers chrome or metal polish will do wonders for those tips, and even the whole muffler and system will polish up really nice.

No listed app for the m5 and no pics either : (
I have no clue so it could be a flowmaster for all I know jk
Has OEm resonator.

I realized when I uploaded those pics that damn my tips are dirty! I will most definately hit them with some mothers maybe even break out the buffing wheel to shine em u.

I'd love to find out what system it is. After I posted this I was out driving and ran into an M3... we played and he pulled up at a light and asked me what exhaust I had on it. I just gave him a dumb look and said I have no clue, bought it used and haven't been able to find out.

Flowmaters don't have the lip, well not the ones we use.
B&B has made systems and not listed them, I have a Tacoma system from them and not a Toyota listed anywhere.
Whos ever it is, its a nice looking item.

I think it's B&B as well. My car had one at the time of purchase. It also was quite loud at 1.5 - 2k rpm (which is why I replaced it), and the tips look very familar.

It looks a little like a custom Borla system on my friend's 850Ci...
