Good for you - will definitely improve the looks on the GT! Will look like it should have done from the factory.

have fun!

No idea how it rides not arrived yet

Paul looks quality, will wait until your feedback on ride quality before taking leap. Will try and post photos as I have started in "pimping" my ride, all chrome bits sprayed body colour, matt black front grille from Bimmian arrived today so fitting this weekend and removed back boxes to s/steel through boxes (waste of time but looks better slightly).

Tried with original boxes cut off and no pipes and still very quiet so put smallest boxes available and oval end pipes on. Slight rumble when booting it but worried about removing dpf and cats (sports cats instead) as advised will get error reading and BMW walk away from warranty issues?

Yes DPF needs to be mapped out otherwise you will get an error. Warranty does not really bother me.

My e60 535d had a 3" straight through pipe from turbo back with a back box. Although it sounded awesome it really got on my nerves when cruising because of the drone.

Standard ammo? I think your are talking about the ride quality.

I'm in love with it. It's still very comfortable and smooth, but the handle has improved, and the steering feels sportier. I'm very satisfied.

Sorry, what do you mean by ammo?

And no, the car is a little stiffer, so there is less bouncing.

H&R Springs Installed

Getting rid of that gap does wonders for the look and handling. Try it, you'll like it!

I also use HR, I adjust the rear adjustment lever to the lowest, the air suspension air pump does not work. I adjusted the connecting rod to 69mm and everything worked fine. However, I have a DSC fault code,,,,,
