In one fell swoop (this Saturday), I was able to finish fitting the wheels and install my new exhaust, a Berk Full Race: “This full system includes a mid pipe featuring dual 2.5″ tubing and dual resonators, a 3″ Y-pipe and a dual 80mm tip muffler delete.” Quite a lot of work for one day, but at least the major mods are all taken care of. <\/p>\n

Great quality and detail in the construction:<\/p>\n

I finished with the suspension and wheel stuff at 4PM, and then headed over to my main man Ken’s Mission Auto Garage<\/a> to install the exhaust. Doing this job on the floor of my home’s garage with jackstands would have been beyond miserable. Back in my youth, this is what I would have done. Now, I just pay. <\/p>\n

Actually, Ken was cool enough to let me give him a hand with the install. It was nice to wield quality tools (Snap-On) and realize the convenience of a lift. I wouldn’t even have been able to do this at home, because BMW used torx screws for the chassis brace, which I have no tools for. <\/p>\n

Here’s the car waiting in a bay. <\/p>\n

The Berk exhaust shed approximately 30lbs over the stock system. Surprisingly, you’d think an exhaust with no muffler would be loud… but it’s actually tame and reasonable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
