Why not a Borla street or Dinan, since they are available for the R53?

Have you looked at products from Way or DDM?

I was wondering when you were going to get tired of the quiet!

Rich:

Looks a lot like my Dinan, made from 304 Stainless... Looks like a great value.

Cost is a factor, thus why I went with the ED DP back exhaust on Scooter.

If the IE sounds true to the first vid of Dave's go for it. Nice tone.

I agree with Don, I think it sounds very decent.

The big mouth is cool, but i like a twin tip. I might have to get a short Monza tip.

Cool, I can get you the old tip just note the finish on those twin tips is not that great and you'll need to do some work to get a set of Monza tips to work. If you'd like that system, with old tip at $340) email me and I'll work on the shipping cost since you are on the same coast as IE.

Oh and looking on the WEB there are several exhaust tips to change the style, here is a Flowmaster model # is 15369 and it has a 2.5" inlet tube, is 7.5" long and each out let is a 3.5" hole!

Found an even better deal on an exhaust tip that would give a good look at very cheap $$.
It is a 2.5" inlet tube, it is 8.6" total in length, and each outlet is 3".
only $14.16 plus shipping at http://www.discountexhaustsystems.com

Hello R53 owners. Here's what AXC and IE can do for you on the Catback systems shipped this week anywhere in the lower 48 states. Because each system will still be shipped in it's own box the Denver owners have help any lower 48 owner get a discount this week.

The system with old dual tips is $315.00 this week.
The system with new Big Mouth is $345.00 this week.
Shipping Rates;
CA, WA, OR, AZ, NV only $40.00
The rest of the states is only $50.00

Please email me at info@autoxcooper.com with your build date, state and which tip you want. Thanks Dustin

I was thinking about the IE exhaust but went with the 1 ball exhaust. Its even cheaper. It alittle louder than stock and I am getting a few more horse power.
