RPi looking for an M6 convertible test car

Hi guys,

I am working on an revised exhaust for the M6. If any of you with a convertible is interested in helping us with the redesign, please contact me via email or phone. Here is what the revision would address:

1. I am looking to design a system that will fit both the convertible and the coupe
2. Tips will sit higher/closer to the bumper
3. Openining up the clearance between tubing and rear bracket.

Actually, I am leaving for South Carolina on Friday. Doing the 2 day M Driving School. Could not pass up the deal, FREE!

How long do you need the car?

Maybe Mychael can run it down for you. I will be back on the 21st.



P.S. Had to find out about this from Mark Carson! Where is the love.

Well the issue was more in the install. I get a lot of people who call about the install, then when I explain how to install and line everything up, they call me back and say ,"oh, everyone fit ok."

So, to make things easier and to help guys with the convertibles, we will just revise the design.

Were leaving tonight for South Carolina. Be gone for a week.

We will be by before the month ends.

See, I like to keep people thinking. If I am there all the time, it's like "why's this guy always here." I like to wanted. Some call it foreplay, makes the real act, well. . . . . , heightened!
