Default Re: I've been thinking of a simpler system.

Then why not an Y after the cats to begin with? A 2-in-1 muffler may not be easy, nor ideal perhaps.

If you want a single side exhaust I'd probably go for the X and two pipes after the center muffler. That's tried and tested, and I don't know how a 2-in-one would work out. I doubt if one vs. two stainless pipes after the center muffler would save that much (it's rather far back). A stainless sports exhaust will probably save weight over the OE exhaust.

If you want weight saving, there are lighter alternatives to stainless steel as well, though costly.

Re: I think that Swen_S8 has raised the value of S8's in the USA by $5,000!

Default LOL, let's hope the same goes here in NL. :-)

Not that I have plans...

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Hope to be able to do a vid clip soon, when the kit arrives and if I can get it to work... So you can hear the sound!
