Just a quick question, who makes the exhaust for BMW? I'd imagine dealer prices would be pretty high.

Thanks

Boysen is a BMW exhaust maker. :)
Yes they are expensive but they last really well. My Sport is still on its original 21 year old exhaust. :D

I priced a center box last week for my sport as the original has finally took the knock and the price @ Williams in Liverpool was £345.

Told them i'd have to think about it. :D

You can get a complete Scorpion system, downpipes and all for £450 all in stainless.

I want to go back to a stock back box, but the prices are getting silly now.

Picked up an 'as new back box' for my 325i convertible on Ebay for £1.00.
Could have had the complete system but couldn'y fit it into my car. Back box still had the makers sticker with part number on etc.
Original box was still in good condition but the baffles had rusted away making it too boomy especially with the roof down.
New quieter back box has transformed the car as it seems to make the engine sound smoother.
