2006 exhaust system: no clamps?

Okay, I've been researching exhausts for my 2006 X3.

Took a look at this

and
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...39&hg=18&fg=20

Since realoem.com does not have 2006MY included, I used a 3.0i with a production date of 10/2005. That's as late as it would let me.

Anyway, take a look at these pictures of my stock exhaust system:







Am I crazy or did BMW eliminate the clamps (connection points) on their exhaust system???

It looks like the entire thing is welded as one piece. Do I not see the clamps?

If that's the case then the Remus exhaust will not fit as a bolt-on. An exhaust system will have to be custom with welding work.

This sucks…
