Riss Racing E90 Exhaust Update

I ended up painting my cross-bar black... so you cannot see it through the mesh.

I took my car into Kelly's Performance & Kustom and had them adjust my RR exhaust. They cut out 3 inches of pipe directly behind the muffler and welded it back together. They also did a quick cut and re-weld of the mounting brackets because of moving everything back 3 inches. I may need to have them re-weld the brackets again because they didn't reach all the way and there is a little too much tension on the rubber hangers. You can feel a little vibration in the car because of it. BUT, it looks really good. My tips now line up flush with the bumper and they raised the tips up a half inch too. The rise eliminated the droopy tip look. The other nice thing about moving everything back 3 inches, is it hides the mufflers a little so they don't jump out at you so much. Everything now flows together when you look at the back of my car.

Are you happy with the sound?

Yes. It is a little loud inside the car at times, but it is very deep and racy sounding outside the car. The big thing for me is that it doesn't sound like a Mustang which was one of my fears. I didn't want my European car to sound like American muscle. Not that a 5.0 Stang doesn't sound sweet, but I just want my euro V8 to sound more unique.
