Interesting. I'm contemplating doing a similar mod on my 330xi. Are you removing the resonator?

Can I guess you are going cat-back? What size pipes? Can't wait for pics and a review!

I'm not removing the resonator. At least for now.
 I'm also not going cat-back either (which would mean removing the resonator). Baby steps for me on this. I don't want any drone in the cabin at freeway cruising speeds.

Any reason for the single pipe instead of the two pipe exit?

Magnaflows' 2 in/2 out mufflers are too far apart (pipes in/pipes out). Tips would be about 2" from each other, not like how they are on the factory muffler. That's why I went with 2 in/1 out. I also wanted to keep the flow from the two pipes that way until the muffler.

Okay, here are the pix…
   Didn't get a chance to take a pic of the two mufflers next to each other but you can get an idea of how much smaller the Magnaflow is…  Initial impressions: I was worried it would be too loud after talking with some people and their experience with Magnaflows and BMW's inline-6. However, it's perfect; in fact, it maybe too quiet right now. With the windows rolled up it's only slightly louder around 1500 rpms than with the "golf tee" mod - there is a slight drone. Other than that, above 2k rpms I don't notice it. Now, with the windows down, it's whole different story. VERY nice rumble. Set off some alarms in the parking lot at Target (had to make a stop). I have to give it some time though. Koko told me it will get slightly louder and deeper in about a week or so. The real test will be tomorrow: freeway cruising speeds. But my initial thoughts are it's not going to be a problem (drone). Price for muffler, tip and installation: $240. The cool part was Koko painted the muffler black. Makes it look REALLY good IMO. He did a great job.
