    UPDATE, first day on track with the new exhaust. Summary:
    S50, Bimmerworld 2 to 1 y-pipe, to 3" Vibrant 1795 18" bottle resonator, to a 3" to 2x2" merge into my previous Stromung muffler.

    Bluntly, I'm surprised by how much it changed the power band. Not that it made a huge difference, but a very noticeable one. For track, it's perfect. It basically fattened up 4k-5.5k rpm. Below 3.5k is noticeably less torque, 4-5.5k noticeably more, 6k-7k feels about the same.

    Corner exit behind my friends 135i, I pull EXACTLY even down the straight, whereas before, he'd very slowly nudge away from me, gaining ~2 car lengths.

    Now, about the sound. It sounds good outside the car, but not as good inside. I think it's the nature of going to single wall tubing, and no choice of resonator or muffler would really fix that.

    Overall, while I'd change a few little install and component decisions, I'd definitely do it again for a mostly track car.

    Dynoed at each stage of build.(shows kW and torque)
    Track orientated, now I'm getting old I'm looking at swapping out the back box for DD.
