Overall, I very pleased with the new look and the sound! I wasn't sure about the 550i diffuser at first as it doesn't look very aggressive. Having had it wrapped in Gloss Black made it a little better to look at. Seeing it on the car now with the tips fitted , it doesn't look too bad in my opinion. I have seen that the M550i LCI does have a slighly more detailed diffuser which I might change to at a later date (just need to wait for the part number to be available on realoem)
In terms of sound, it is so much better. I have not tried cold start yet with it - but I do have GTS roar and mild burbles set in BM3. Under load - the car sounds more alive with a deep bassy tone. I'm glad I listened to buddyboy 's advice and went for the axel back. I already have a res delete on mine so didn't need to Remus mid pipe. It's plenty loud enough for a daily driven car.
I did notice the spring clip for the valve rattles a little (My OEM exhaust used to do this). I solved the OEM issue by pulling the spring outwards to create more tension between the actuator and the valve slot on the exhaust. I will try and to the same on this one. Other then that, I'm really pleased with the way this modification turned out
I need to capture some sound clips which I will share when I have some.
