Thanks for quick response. "No rust" sounds good.

I am in Michigan. Please send me (via PM if can) the following:-
Few good pictures ( top bottom, sides, points of cut off
Mileage at the time of "chopped off"
The cost to me**.

**I will pay for shipping - with method of shipping to be determined.

Again thanks for your help.

An E55r in my neck of the woods - Good.

I am considering the delete but I want to retain the option to revert to the stock center resonator in a "minute" if I don't like the level to which the sound has changed.

Mines has deteriorated some and will have to be changed sooner than later.

If it falls through between you and DS, contact blackhelicopter on this forum to see if he wants to sell as he should still have the center section from when he bought my car. The piece is in mint shape and shipping from NY to Chicago should be cheaper too.

Yes I did the X pipe thang. I purchased it on Amazon 2.5" stainless steel. I will PM you with name of the shop at which I got it done. Did about 100 miles on Sunday...continue to be impressed. My conservative wife thinks it sounds "sweet" as such I am literally fully sold.
