Yes it is, take the enhanced kit which include the adaptor. You might have some adjustment to make if you have confort trunk access...

Hello.

Just got this done today. Bought two 3.5" dual tips off of eBay for like 65 and bought this carbon fiber diffuser off of eBay for 290 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/182170585626...84.m1497.l2649).

I was afraid that I had to cut the bumper insert thing inside but this diffuser fit right over it without any issues. The diffuser itself does have some fitment issues on both corners but that was easily fixed with some diy.

Overall, 290 (diffuser) + 65 (tips) + 160 (labor) = 515 was spent for this job. I had the muffler delete done as well.

I'm debating getting that Diffuser but what kind of issues did you have with it in terms of fitment? Thank you!

So you know how the stock oem diffuser is held in by the clips along all the edges? The clips on the diffuser itself are all there but on the edges of both sides, they dont really click in and hold. I wrapped all the clips on both sides with electric tape to make them thicker and then push them in. They dont move anymore now

So you wrapped 2 clips (1 on each upper corner) with electric tape? you don't happen to have photos do you? Got the same exact one and its arriving today. Also, did you leave out the large center plastic piece that comes off with the stock diffuser? You're set up looks nice got anymore photos?

I was thinking of doing it but imo, it sounds a little different in reality. I've seen and heard every single muffler delete on youtube for a f10 535 and when i got it done, it was more deeper and somewhat of a drone as well, especially at 2500rpm. if you're doing a quick acceleration, no problem. however, if you're gently accelerating and letting the car shift gears at around 2500-3000rpm, you'll feel that drone. I don't really mind because my daily has loud exhaust as well but if you don't have any music in the background, that drone is somewhat loud. If you have the music up a little though, not really an issue.

This is the look I have in mind minus the two section middle insert. Note that this one is carbon fiber but look satin / matte black from the picture and this is really what I want.



Now I need to find a shop that will remove the rusty hitch that came with the car, remove the bumper cover, install the M5 diffuser adaptor, m5 diffuser and put the Megan Exhaust in place.

I might wait during the first week of August since I will be in vacation and be able to stay at the shop during the work...
you also lose some torque from a resonator delete unless you fit an X-pipe in the same place

the quad exhaust on an non-M car isnt exactly my cup of tea, but the outcome is great and you got quite a good deal on the whole setup.

you should tint your windows 20% all around and remove the 535i badge off the rear, it will really complete the look of your car

nice car! i think we have the same color haha anyway, i honestly have no idea with resonators though..

However, i just did 800 mile trip this past weekend with 4 people including me and the drone at 2500rpm still gets me. Ive heard that adding j pipes will eliminate it with the right lengths or maybe even additional resonators. So I'm gonna do some more research and complete this soon so that i don't get any drone.

Great work to all these custom exhausts. I added custom removable end caps to my J Pipes at MissionPerformance headquarters today. 25 bucks for the part. https://www.ebay.com/itm/261870938063

Thanks to Alex, Omar and Kareem for the assist. Now I can go quite street mode or full track sound at my leisure by manually removing the end caps. Resonator delete next.

No leaks, there's a gasket between the cap and pipe when reassembled. Simple wing nut removal. Also found out the DP is only 3" to the collector then split. Was thinking go single 3" from the DP straight back with smooth bends then Y split to 3.5 at the very end.

Included a picture of lamb gyros for good measure
