Steve (SP32) had one built by them on his 3.2, the car was bought by a member on here and is currently on ebay if you want to see pictures.

Only thing I would say is, if you go to any of these custom exhaust centres with a V6 insist that you have a twin pipe system all the way through, they will try and sell you a single pipe and get round any issues you may raise by saying that they will put a bigger pipe after the join. Anyone who has driven a V6 with the proper spec exhaust and a single 'mid' pipe exhaust will tell you how flat they are compared.

Thanks, good advice  :y

They will make it what ever spec you desire, twin centre or single centre with a 'Y' joint.

But if you chat to them on the phone speak to Andrew the Boss and explain exactly what you desire and what sort of sound you want.

Mention I was there yesterday and I have recommended you, I am trying to get them to sponsor me for The Rally For Heroes 2012 European Tour. ;-) lol
 
Also explain what sort of rear outlet you need, Single, Double, Single each side or Double each Side, this will reflect on price.

They are open 7 days a week as well ;-)

The exit you had looked fine, I'd like as close to standard look as possible.

Thing is I don't think stainless can ever be as quiet as "normal" exhausts can they? On petrols anyway  :-\

Sounds like you did alright there  :y
With exhausts being often a personal choice, it's nice to know there are some companies who still respect that and are willing to listen to the buyer. With your recommendations they could find a queue forming  ;D

strange one that as going into one pipe should increase torque and bring it lower into the rev range which if anything should improve drivability. When i had my previous m3 system built by custom chrome racing it went into one just after the cats, all the way back, the guy who brought the car off me said it was the best driving most torquey m3 3.0 he had ever driven and it actually was quicker than alot of the 3.2 models that he had driven, this was also confirmed by rolling road before and afters 285bhp before 318bhp after,with a similar torque increase, exhausts done properly with the right calculations work very well imho :)
