Finally did a muffler delete on the 540i...

Used a C6 vetted tail pipe, trimmed tip and some 3" tubing, all laying around the shop. Can't beat free.

Thanks buddy.

I'm super happy with how it came out especially for not spending a dime and just a few hours milling about the shop. Welding practice is always good anyway.

Video before I put the tailpipe on. Sounds the same.

Sounds pretty similar to my M5. Definitely a must do mod for any BMW v8!

It's strange, since doing this mod I've encountered a few C6 corvettes on the street and I feel that having the same tip makes the pitch somewhat similar... I have no idea if that's even possible but I don't see why not.

I may be crazy though.
