335Xi Performance Exhaust Install - DIY
Finally I pulled the trigger on a BMW performance exhaust. UPS delivered a truly massive box to me today. Most of the space is taken up by packing material - I pulled out the shiny bits for a closer look. Not pictured are the 5 clamps which will be used to reassemble the exhaust once the stock exhaust is cut off.
My local independent BMW repair shop (near Seattle WA) quoted $300 to install the exhaust - so I have decided to just do it myself. The benefit to this community will be a DIY since I'll take lots of pics and explain how I installed it. Might take a couple of weeks before I have time to get to this, but I'll update the thread once I do. Cheers,

I was pleased to buy from a vendor who supports this forum - Jon @ bmwpartspros.com
The cost was $1240, included shipping. I have been watching prices for a while now and this seems to be a good price. Reeves BMW and Tisher too were close - about a hundred or so more.

I will have time to install this weekend, so look for a review shortly after that.
S3RI35 - thanks for the link to a DIY for an E92. Its certainly looks similar - but my kit came with an additional pipe not mentioned in that DIY. Clearly the E90 kit is a little different.
