Can I install only PE rear muffler on N55?

Car is N55. I hit the stone on road and only "victim" is my rear muffler. So, need to know, can I install just rear muffler from BMW performance exhaust without center section. I know I can but need to know is job plug and play or I need to do some modifications? Thanks!

Should be plug and play and still sound nice because of no rear cats on N55...I would go for it!

I would go too, but must be 100% shure before ordering.

Take a look at my DIY.

It should give you a pretty good idea of what is involved. If you have some sort of pwer saw, you can probably cut through the pipe in a few minutes. Just remember it is much easier to work on the exhaust and remove it when the rear diffuser has been removed.

He said WITHOUT center section.

Yes, you should be able to bolt it right up. The only thing is we expect some sound clips when the job is done!

It should bolt up fine to a N55. I think Dan@United has posted some pics and a video on a N55. Plus... many N54's guys first install only the rear muffler - and then a week or so latter put on the Y-pipes from the Perf exhaust kit. Should be a simply bolt up and play deal.
