bmw f10 550ix m5 muffler conversion question

Gldngreek · 05-15-2017, 01:19 PM

Hey guys hoping you can help I'm adding M5 mufflers to my 14 550ix. I want working valves and I'm at the muffler shop now and they are telling me the hoses don't reach the M5 mufflers since they are opposet side now. What has anyone else done?

I'm getting the same thing done, and the shop told me they will install longer vacuum tubing.

I had no issues on my 2014 550i with m5 comp package exhaust, i'm not sure if they used longer vacuum tubing or not.

Did they figure it out?

close the vacuum tube, use zip ties and keep exhaust open all the time.

I used the zip ties. There have been reports of slight drone and so forth but I haven't experieced it. I have just the mufflers and an x-pipe though
