E55 exhaust pipes vs. E500 pipes, same diameter..?
Working a deal on a complete E55 exhaust system from Res back to tips. It needs to be shipped so we need to cut it to facilitate packaging/shipping... Question is, are the E55 pipes post-Resonator the same diameter as my stock E500 pipes post-Resonator or are they 1/4" or so larger...? I'd like to have the seller cut the exhaust so it can be shipped easier but don't want to end up with a Frankenstien-ed version of my stock exhaust and E55 exhaust with couplers/reducers etc. all over the place... I'm thinking about replacing my Resonator with an X-pipe and simply installing the E55 system from the X-pipe back...
