Can he do resonator deletes?

That's what I was telling ya about dalton, I wanna have him delete mine while I'm down there

Thanks again Dalton - TSE3 will be finding its way home soon.

IMO, the HKS catback is the perfect exhaust for our cars, had one once on a non-ZHP but let it go with the car only to find out later that HKS doesn't sell aftermarket for BMW in the US anymore. I've already laid dibs to Derbo's if he ever decides to sell it.

Agree, resonator deletes don't do much unless you replace one of the resonators with an x-pipe (the aforementioned needed back pressure) and then put in a performance aftermarket muffler.

Here's a cheap idea that Crestwood is going to do in Oct -- do the muffler delete, buy some tips and he can weld in the piping in place of the deleted muffler along with your new tips. Try it,if you don't likeit then have him reinstall your OEM muffler. You'd only be out the cost of a set of tips, a piece of custom bent pipe and minor labor charge.

Speaking of, what am I looking at labor wise?

Nice TS3 dealings gents. Like someone said, exhaust is an enthusiast purchase, not a bean-counter one. But you could justfiy by saying better gas mileage, but mine when down. Still need to figure that one out.

@Meric, plate looks BAUS.

@Charles, liking that you got the panel. PM me with where you got/price if it you don't mind.

I have to agree with Dalton, it's cheaper to buy a muffler and have the piping done. On my jeep I bought a magnaflow muffler and had custom piping done in 3.5 from the cats back, and that thing was LOUD, nothin better then a free flowing hemi.
And I did all that for less then 400$ including labor, I'd have a hard time justifying 1500$ or more for an exhaust, but that's just me

i keep going back and forth on aftermarket exhausts. the OEM ZHP exhaust is awesome, hard to justify the cost for me. that is, until i go to the exhaust thread and start watching those youtube vids lol.
