Ah you had your ship from British Isles while mine was from over the upper border

This is another reason I don't want to install headers. I can't imagine it being fun unless you have a lift.

Rewarding sure, but something I'd like to do more than once...nah.

Had a shop swap resonator and straight pipes for the section 1 so I can test rasp vs no rasp.

Also did the fuel filter diy. Super simple on the M3 and no gas flying everywhere. However once I took off the filter I spilled gas all over and couldn't catch it because of my position so I ended up laying in a pool of gasoline. I'm not sure that smell is going away anytime soon.

Why not cut out the resonator and H-pipe and weld in a straight pipe on the outer one and X-pipe in place of H?

Yea I've been thinking of that. I'll take it one at a time for now. I got a good deal on the section 1 and am looking into finding an x pipe or fabricating a x pipe like you've described. Seems like this would give me a slight increase in volume without drone. I really don't mind the stock exhaust but it is pretty darn quiet.

Drove the ZHP to work tonight and just had to tickle the rev limiter a few times. I'll try and do the same with the DSC in the morning.

It really isn't bad. As long as you are prepared well going into the project

Speaking of exhaust...I was on my way to work southbound I-15 this dark morning. A tricked out Silver debadged E46 Coupe with very hard window and loud exhaust pulled right beside me with darkened tail lights and trunk painted black. I think he wants to race. But after a few seconds, he decided to punch it and I saw his mufflers hanging. Looks really like aftermarkets. The E46 ZHP wannabe did a quick exit to Miramar Rd. Those mufflers sound real ugly.

Hahaha... I've seen a lot of cheesy cars exiting to go to base in the last few months. Sounds about right to me
