Eric,

Please e-mail me a pic when you get it done. I have discussed a dual rear setup with my custom shop here but I decided against it while the car is still in warranty. The proper setup is to raise the battery and convert the right rear fender well to accept another muffler setup. You only need 6" or so for the setup so it is relatively easy by fabricating a new well after cutting below the battery but I am concerned about keeping the car in warranty for the remaining four years. I'm also trying to curb the spending on the car as after seeing what some members have spent on modifications they could have bought an M5 in the first place. I on the other hand do not need to get from 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds ( and if I did, I could always pull the Ducati out of the garage), The 528 is quick enough.

Just my thoughts, but I think the dual rear setup will be cool.

Phil
