R56 Exhaust Gallery

I figured we could use one of these. I have been trying to find a muffler for my car and trying to use the search function to find them is way to hard. Post pics and videos if you can.

Are you looking for muffler only or a full exhaust?

With all the mods you've made to your engine, I think it's a safe bet you'd be pushing the limits of virtually all of the aftermarket exhausts.

What are you looking for 2.5" or 3" straight pipe? I got my magnaflow muffler and tips. I'm really leaning towards 2.5" right now.

With the upgraded turbo, slightly larger displacement and the head I will be getting I decided the 3" would be the best bet the keep the exhaust velocity higher, in the upper RPM range. Visually I am not one to spend 100+ on some shiny metal.
