My new 1995 540i/6

What John said my e28 sounds nasty and all we used is was 2 old exhaust systems and i can be safe to say that my e28 is the only one with a custom x pipe with cat delete and only a glasspack with a truly centered twin chrome tip setup!

Good news! Chris was under the car the other day and said it looks clean underneath, always a good thing. Also, he saw that the muffler should just unclamp from the rest of the exhaust making it much easier to see what the system is like without it and then throwing it back on if it is to loud. Also I did some looking around for Magnaflow mufflers and I found this beauty.
As you can see in the video is a Magnaflow, I just called Miller Performance and was told that the build used the muffler #12468 and resonator #11379. I would like to go with this muffler/resonator because it doesn't just sound like an american muscle V8 like other magnaflows which was why I was a little hesitant of going with them. It has more of a sporty tone to it or european I suppose, I like it a lot. One question I have is what are those ball looking things before the resonator, cats or what? Not that I necessarily need them I'm just more curious. Another thing is how am I going to keep the O2 sensors? According to this real ome picture, the O2 sensors (#21) are in the front of the cats. Can I just put new piping there and screw/tread a hole for them? I don't want to cause any problems with the car running rich, V8 mileage doesn't need any reasons to get worse. I suppose the O2 sensor could be in a different spot on the Dinan exhaust but if I find a different exhaust to chop up then I'll need to figure this out still.

The Dinan is a catback and not a full exhaust isn't it? Welding in new o2 bungs is quite simple.
Just another reason why I need to learn how to weld. I don't know about the Dinan being cat back or full either

The catback portions of our exhausts should be the same from what it seems. If you do ditch the Dinan catback portion for custom just let me know=)
If I swap out the cat back for custom then the cats will be replaced by the resonator and all I will need will be the dual pipes going back to the new muffler. If the 525 rear system will make that work then I have no problem with swapping with you. Be easier then bending my own pipes and less expensive.

I'll be back in Wisco on May 13th and I'll start living with Chris in Milwaukee on the 18th or 19th so we will definitely be able to make something happen. I would like to get this system on as soon as possible so I can enjoy it

Late post but I finally got home on Monday night. Chris picked me up from the airport and I got to drive her for the first time
. Well actually the first thing I did was have chris start the car for me 
. This is in the parking garage of O'Hare.I've been driving it a ton lately, drove from O'hare to Milwaukee then Milwaukee to Madison the next day. The car is great, pulls hard and the only really bad problem is the bushing in the rear is pretty noisy. Chris and I are planning on work on it on June 1st. Shop party in Sun Prairie? I spent some time cleaning the car with my buddy in Waunakee and had my little bro take some pictures. Chris also threw some new wheels on so now I have some tread.
