Left the car in with Rick's Garage on friday past to get the exhaust mod done. I had heard Gemma's 4 pipe and it was a bit too loud for a daily, so decided to go for the lesser known 2.5 pipe mod. Basically inbetween the 2 and 4 pipe mods.
For the 2 pipe, the main two perforated pipes are blocked/replaced leaving the two secondary perforated pipes. Slight increase in sound, but still pretty baffled.
The 4 pipe mod is all the pipes covered/replaced with solid pipe, basically straight piping the backbox.
The 2.5 leaves half of the secondary pipes uncovered, meaning some of the exhaust is baffled. Not quite as loud as the 4 pipe, but defo closer to it than 2 pipe levels.
Enough photos, here's a couple of videos

Car in at the moment getting the front end repainted. Bumper holes smoothed, wings and bonnet done. Can't wait to get it back on Saturday!
And then that will be it for a while, I don't think the wife isn't thrilled with all money being spent on it on the mouth of the baby being born

Good work, big difference to appearance from a few simple cosmetic changes, and it sounds absolutely insane, I bet it sounds great under load. Enjoy and also congrats/all the best with the new imminent arrival.

Love it!!! Looks really well! Would love the idea of a m3 touring also but would it not be a shame to chop such a beautiful car?
No touring it!!!

Car back, front end looks so fresh. Bonnet, bumper and wings done. And got my shorter number plate on. Not looking forward to the first stone chip at the front 
Car is done now looks wise. Just gonna drive away at it and enjoy it. Hoping to get my CarPlay module fitted this weekend too.

Yep! Guy has put a few videos up of the installation process so hopefully not be too much of a hassle.
