My new exhaust with Pics! Thanks Fluid Motor Union!
I recently had some exhaust work performed by Fluid Motor Union here in Chicago, and I just wanted to share the quality of the work. The exhaust came out perfect and the guys at Fluid are a great group of people to work with.
I deleted the primary cats, and resonator and replaced with 3" Stainless steel piping all tig welded. The welds came out very nice and I am very impressed! and no check engine light due to the cleverness of the guys at fluid, but it must be said that this exhaust must only be used for off-road only,
Overall, I am very happy!

and yes.... this is my fourth exhaust on the e55, and the best one yet

, and the best one yet Hey m'man! Your Beast sounds Too Awesome! I'm in Chicago as well and have never heard of Fluid Motor Union. From the looks of your exhaust, they do some immaculate work. Does "for off road use only
" mean that it won't pass emissions? If it will still pass emissions, I would love to have this done to my Beast as well. Would you mind PM'ing me the cost and time it took? I'm sure this mod will save me bookoo $$$ over the Eisenmann setup. Thank you in advance and again, Awesome sounding ride!

Beautiful! I want one!
Kind of a random question, but you didn't happen to notice whether there are a series of small holes drilled into the undercarriage, did you? The one I'm picking up soon was registered in LA at the time of hurricane Katrina and I noticed when I looked at the car it has holes, which I feared were for draining the thing after a flood. The thing is, though, they were so clean (perfectly verticle, symetrical, precisely positioned) that I think they're factory original. If you could offer some insight in that regard, it would be appreciated. I see some holes in IMG_0365. That's exactly what they look like, but I think there were more of them.

Holy crap, dude, I am seriously inept at editing pictures! :'-( Thanks so much for the offer to help, though. Can't post the arrows tonight, but hopefully I'll be able to tomorrow. Stay tuned.

BenzoBoi: Thanks dude
GedaBlaq: They are a sponsor on this board, PM them, and they will give you a good price!, btw, we have a lot of chicago meets, you should come out to one!
FluidMotorUnion: Thanks again!
baldmike73: It has more of a muscle car sound without the X and is very mean under throttle!
TTMotorsports: Thanks! You guys do some awesome work out there too!
hamann69: Yes, it is basically stock headers straight to stock mufflers, really nothing else, except the stock H-pipe crossover
ENDSMTG: Thanks Dave!
Bisco: Thanks dude! If you give Fluid a call, I'm sure they will give you a good price, tell them Aleks sent you!
E55Bullet: To tell you the truth, it is absolutely no different inside the car. The video is of a cold start, and once it gets down to normal RPMs, it is really perfect, it should have came from the factory like this. Loud under throttle, and quiet on the highway!
Ohbev: There is a little power to be had when removing all cats, but if I can not really feel it on the road.
Triple.Sevens: Yes, I assume you mean mufflers. They are stock.
kurtwz: Thanks, see if you can point out the holes...
shardul: I think that there is some kind of holes underneath the car to let water escape from the underbody panels...
