What you’re seeing above is my third attempt at the exhaust for the V12. (tips weren’t welded) A good change from my mangled AC Schnitzer exhaust. (it’s for sale now). The system above started with just 4 pieces of cylindrical silencers. Sounds really great but was just way too loud.

Then I had the end silencers removed and fitted the rectangular ones you see in the picture at the end. both Vertically fitted for clearance purposes. The rectangular muffler also had a restrictor fitted to further quiet it down.  Sounds More muffled but just doesn’t sound right. Looks real ugly too.

This time, the 3rd time visiting the shop, I got the rectangulars welded to the front, then the little cylindrical silencers, then the X-pipe and then the longer cylindricals. This time, i’m happy. More pictures and sound video to come :)

Some specs of my custom exhaust:

  1. 2.5″ galvanized Pipes
  2. Stainless Steel Silencers
    • 2 x Rectangular muffler + Restrictor
    • 2 x Long cylindrical muffler
    • 2 x Short cylindrical muffler
  3. X-Pipe
  4. 2 x 4″ Tail pipes

Nothing like this of course.

I’ve been needing a new interior or at least a reupholstering job since I ever had the car. The roof liner was repaired before, and my door cards were self repaired with staples.  Here’s the latest update on my interior build. I’ve always wanted a good luxurious and in RED. Diamonds are also at the top of my list. So here it is. :)

Here’s Meguiar’s CEO Barry Meguiar posing with my humble ride. It’s a real pleasure meeting the legend today especially having been a Meguiar’s die hard fan for years. He is here in Malaysia on a business tour along with his great team of Meguiar’s staff. Special thanks to Meguiar’s Distributor, Hypercoat for the media invitation. It’s a shame the car wasn’t detailed prior to this.

Some Pictures of the 750i Auto transmission rebuild

Here’s yet another installment of my project 550i V12. Though there were plans to bolt on a manual transmission, it has been temporarily shelved. This is due to the chronic slippage from the auto transmission a few days ago. Though it was already slipping when the car just came out of the shop, it was still drivable. The final straw came when some technician took it for a drive after correcting the wheel alignment. Anyways, here are some pictures of the disassembled 750i transmission. Look at the size of the torque converter..
