Nice pair of Big Ole Tips

I guess like most things pictures never really do 'em justice. When I got the first BMS can on I couldn't believe how pathetic and weak they made the stock tips look. I took pics for the purpose of illustrating this point but I still think you gotta see it in person to realize the magnitude of the difference. These things mean business

Wow... so you FINALLY decided on some cans, eh?

Looks nice. Good choice too

Now... how the heck did you swap your cans without removing your wheels?

Yep, just required a little patience. I knew some of the early adopters would be parting out eventually.

I don't know what you mean about the wheels? I wasn't even close to having to remove them. I did find the whole affair incredibly fiddly and the biggest PITA hanger system I've ever seen on an exhaust. But it all came straight down without removing anything other than that black plastic shield you can see in the pics.

....and to be honest, you didn't even need to remove the plastic shield.

I removed and replaced those cans (plus packed them up) in less than an hour!

I love the way it looks too ... now that I'm back to stock looking like a C4 vette

I installed those 2 weeks ago, and no need to remove the wheels. Now, installing the x-pipe required removing about 3x as much stuff to get the 2nd cats off to be able pull off the old x-pipe. But the exhaust is now loud and mean Even meaner than my Dinan M5 :O

Ahhhh sooooo...... You are correct. I removed it when I got to that back hanger and thought it had to come out to access the hanger bolt. Then I realized you can't remove that bolt with the hanger on the car and the whole thing has to come off. I was pissed too cause there's like a dozen 8mm screws holding that thing on and I had to use a wrench because icouldnt find the smaller ratchet. Oh well, with experience comes wisdom

thanks again for the good deal

^ i managed to get to that bolt, have to do it last and lowered the muffler as much as i could to fit my hand behind it. Scratched up my hand it was hard as hell looking through the mess and doing half a turn at a time but i got it lol

putting the new cans on was much easier as the RE cans are smaller so it allows easy access to all hangers.
