Correct me if I'm wrong (cause I usually am) but aren't the exhaust pipes for a non svt smaller in diameter? IIRC SVT exhaust is 2.25" and non svt is 2" so the res we've got won't fit a non svt without some additional work.

You're correct on the SVT ... the SE I'm not sure about. Either way, I'd think a good shop could weld a reducer to each end to make it work with your pipe.
98.5 SVT now gone ... new wheels = 2005 330i

LBVSVT, thanks for the feedback, I'll look at that model (14215).
Anyone else?
Can anyone confirm the size difference in the pipes (SVT = 2.25" ; SE = 2) and any other models of resonators folks have installed, and with what results?

V6 non-SVT is 2" piping from the cat-back. SVT is 2.25" You will want to put in a 2.25" in/out resonator if you have an SVT. The big restriction on the resonator with the SVT is that it is the same one they put on regular v6's. So the piping necks down at that point.
The Y-pipes for an SVT and a regular V6 are identical except the SVT Y has a 2.25" flange for the cat-back whereas the "regular" Y has a 2" flange.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Non-SVT pipe = 2.0 in. Next question : how long should the replacement resonator be? Using the Magnaflow numbers for examples:: #14414 is 20" (14" body) #12254 is 24" (18" body) Now if only the Y-pipe would get here.

The longer the better to tame rasp and drone. Get the longest one you can fit in there. I had an 18" on my old SVT exhaust and it did its job well. I had the stock Y on though.....

Don't forget the Spec Group Buy as well lol.
But to cut to the facts..... I hate the way this has gone under my name guys. I would never have done business this way. Brullen makes some of the BEST products, but they are just toooo damn slow. I'll have your updates as soon as i get them. Thanks

As I told ya'll before, when the pipes do ship( which is a garrantee for this week ) you will be called and given a tracking number. I apologize for the wait as i was out all weekend. Thanks
Who off of this ordered list has received their y-pipe? Please post so I know I am not getting scammed. I am really beginning to wonder if mine (order #1) will ever arrive, especially since there have been so many promises of shipment in the past and still nothing (sorry Cuervo, but it's true). I would just like to know what is going on and get a straight story for once. Please don't say they will ship just to appease us, that is insulting. How many y-pipes have actually been made? How many shipped?
I am just frustrated with this whole gb.
