Nice build. I'm sure this car will hurt a lot of M car owners feelings!

What kind of exhaust / muffler do you have on the car? I love how it sounds! Nice deep and quiet.

Exhaust is 3" stainless with no cat into a 28" oval Magnaflow muffler then a 3" tailpipe all the way to the back. It has an open waste gate that dumps inside the drivers side wheel well. It's way quieter than I expected... But thats not necessarily a bad thing.

Any updates Clay? I may be finally getting serious about swapping my 540i to a turbo LS, and I need lots of projects like yours to study!

What tire and size out back? Does it eventually hook up? I have a 5.3 swapped Volvo wagon and am hesitant to turbo as I can really only run a 245 out back. Love the turbo placement!
