hi ya'll.

i've been away on hiatus, and will be watching this thread VERY closely from now on.

Exhaust mods in TODAY's ECU driven systems are not as 'computer' dependent as operating parameters, etc., tend to be built in to the ECU which adjust for overall flow characteristics as well as emissions (provided you leave O2 sensors, etc), intact. since we are not RACE tuning (reference X54.4blue your posts on BIMMERFEST about people not modding X5s to run on the track) nor driving on the track, I don't understand what is your concern re the ECU. (*NOTE THIS IS NOT ASKING FOR YOUR RESPONSE. JUST A STATEMENT.) My Eisenhaus custom RACE exhaust was built by a tuner that definately knows about tuning; I have complete confidence that their exhaust system is built to teutonic standards. that is not to say that we can't build our own magnaflo or flowmaster exhausts just the same. My 2001 M Roadster has MAGNAFLO custom exhausts on board, and those sound and perform really nice as well.

Let's try (those one or two of you -- you KNOW who I am talking to) to keep this thread above board.

Also, since my father is from South Carolina, that makes me 1/2 red neck. so lets let the red neck comments come from professionals like Jeff Foxworthy, ok? consider this a friendly 'hi ya'll"!
