Its a $100k plus vehicle so really a $2500 exhaust is a drop in the bucket. If you want to get better sound then BMW does also offer a Performance Muffler set for the 650xi also. Go check on www.getbmwparts.com website and check them out. I personally would do that versus trying to have an exhaust shop make a workaround fit on a set. Just my opinion. |
The OP just needs a new set of tips and maybe a different muffler shop, I only say that cause they should have seen how it looked and not let him leave the shop like that in a $100k car. I picked up a set of stainless steel 3" inlet tips on ebay for $100 for the pair, they look as nice or nicer than the tips that come on those $2500 exhausts. They're dual walled, angle cut, and staggered. I had a reputable muffler shop delete my mufflers and valves, they left on the stock resonators, and plugged up the flapper valve vacuum lines. I couldn't be more happy with the sound of the car, it sounds and performs like a twin turbo V8 should! Don't forget, turbos don't like mufflers!
