But I found out that in doing so, I need to cut the original BMW pipe and weld it since the outside diameter is exactly the same as the TUBISTYLE. I was given another alternative which is to use a "pipe to pipe connector" in between. This said, the BMW guy told me to just wait for my Evosport Sec. 1 & Sec. 2.
I wondering if anyone has the TUBISTYLE + Evosport sec. 1 & sec. 2 setup? Was the TUBISTYLE welded to the Evosport Sec. 2 or a "pipe to pipe connector" was used?

If you just replace just the muffler, no matter what exhaust brand, you still have to cut the OEM part and either welded on or your a clamp provided. My friend has Tubi Rumore and he said the pipe diameter fit perfectly
I would recommend you wait for section1&2, in that case, you don't have to cut the OEM part because the OEM 2nd cats is bolt-on to the pre-cats/headers. So, your OEM exhaust system is a "virgin"
