Swap your OEM mufflers for my RPI units?

Just bought an 2007 Z4 M Coupe that came with the beautiful and lightweight stainless RPI muffler setup. I'm 70 years old and prefer a little milder sound. Want to swap for your OEM mufflers straight across?

They should ship Ok if properly packed. I'm thinking we each pay our own shipping costs.

OK! I had multiple PMs and have answered them. Please no more. ;-)

I pick the car up Friday in Portland and then have a 2-day drive home. So this will take a couple weeks to play out I imagine. I'll keep future updates with pics of the RPIs on this thread.

Makes sense.

I think this is the exhaust he has up for trade:



Not sure of the brand actually... Rogue?

Certainly looks like a Diablo Exhaust.

If it has a RE stamped on the bottom of the muffler (will not know obviously until OP picks it up) then that will be the the deciding factor.

Now the question is...does he have a X-Pipe too? lol

I got very suspicious when I read that.
There's nothing out there that's "a little milder", everything else is quiet in comparison...

Yes, the actual brand of the system is unknown at this point, RPI was speculation based on tip appearance in the photo above. When the car is at home and can be inspected I'll post the actual info.

@polar: yes, I understated.

At this point I'm regretting not waiting until I actually had the car in my possession, sorry to cause all this brouhaha.

Nevermind, just saw your other thread. Those aren't RPI's. either a custom magnaflow job or el diablos.

Did you get a chance to figure out what the mufflers are?
