Hi Gale,
Excellent write up..thanks for all the effort on
behalf of the board. May follow suit and do exactly what you did. Only diff is my car is a
735il..slightly different muffler. You said you
performed the magnet test to determine stainless
steel content..sure the muffler/tailpipe wasn't
aluminized for improved corrosion resistance?
Thanks again,
George
90 735il/145k..worn out OE muffler

which is an OEM supplier to BMW. I got them from Zygmunts w/free shipping (you have to ask for that). They don't come as a single unit anymore. Don't worry about old rusted bolts, just soak them good overnight with liquid wrench. They seemed a little stuffy at first but after the 1st 100 miles or so, they opened up. I'm happy with the performance, freeflow systems can actually hurt unless you have other mod's e.i. throttle body, cam, chip, etc.

Here's a summary I did a while ago for the install:
