i have a 325i sport with a Scorpion stainless steel DTM upswept backbox

:mad: the thing is can you do away with the first box under drivers seat and just have the 2 pipes all the way through to the back box so you only have 1 box on the car and if so has anyone done this also does it sound ok or is it to loud :mad:

can do it but...its gonna sound well raw and very very loud

if its a not cat system then it dont matter , but the mid box muffles slightly too

I have 2x 3 into 1 , then 2 into 1 straight through to smallish back box,
it is not that much louder but sounds raw, you need to do the manifold
as well or you will loose power,
