Fit the pipe yourself Dave. The hardest thing is jacking the car up!

Make sure you seal the joint to the cat with some instant gasket or exhaust gunk or it will blow & sound like a wet fart

dave, where did you get your side mouldings from?

I got the ones for my saloon from the main dealer. Very reasonable too. Not much over a 100 quid if i remember rightly.

I think those mouldings are one of the best visual mods for a beemer. Ties in nicely with the front and rear bumpers
Its interesting to see the number of cars in mags or on the street that are modded and still have regular side mouldings. esp the m3 wannabees

regards

Nige

well the magnex system is on now and i am WELL pleased! it sounds great when warmed up, though i'm sure it will change pitch when its worn in a bit.

a big thankyou to all of you who persuaded me to go with the Magnex system.
