Also, now having been under the car working with the exhaust, I can definitely say that I am not touching the factory DP's, they look like an absolute PITA when you're a jackstand warrior like I am.

I am making a series of two proper comparison videos, one of the stock N54 135i exhaust, and the other with the N55 MP's installed. I'll post a link up to my blog once I get the N55 video edited, the stock exhaust video is uploading now. So look forward to a write up on my experiences and opinions, along with some Go-Pro footage!
Alright, I have gathered everything together, and here it is! My N55MP contribution:
