Since I don't drive the M5 too often (mainly because I worry for the car too much when I park it) I usually keep it garaged, but not today. I did my errands in New Rochelle, did what I had to do in the Bronx, and then went to the gym in Yonkers. Ah what a thrill, but the fun didn't end there.
On the way coming home from the gym I took Central Park Avenue (for those who live in NY you know how great that long strip is when there aren't many cars on the road). As I'm driving I spotted a black e46 M3 on my left hand side. I was on the third lane to the right so I cut between a few cars to get in front of him and was hoping he'd want to tango. My wishes came true and off we went with me leading the way :M5launch: :M5launch: . To my surprise he was keeping up behind me very well. After our 5 second thrill I figured enough was enough, because we both know what we got in our hands, so I signaled him over to the side of the road so we can chat. As we both got out of our cars in unison, the first thing to come out of his mouth was "WOW, your car sounds amazing...I know that exhaust system isn't stock!"
I was pretty psyched about this not only because it was the first compliment about my exhaust from another enthusiast but also because while I knew the car sounded great, I really wasn't sure how good or bad it sounded in high speeds unless someone was right behind me to test it with me. His testimony made me even more confident and proud that I made the right choice with my car. With only about 60-70 miles put on the car, since my exhaust installation, the system is just beginning to break in and should sound better with time.
For those wondering what I did, I did what an ex-board member suggested and installed the Dynomax super turbo mufflers and removed the resonators from my car. I saved a pretty penny and I am very happy with the results. Anyway, that's my story. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the experience. :biggrin:
