Just keep in mind a light titanium or magnesium dual exhaust setup is going to cost like 10k, OEM..

And that price is not dropping anytime soon due to the current trade war on raw material..

I feel you, but my exhaust is made from plain old T304 stainless steel. No reason Bmw couldn't have made their oem unit weigh a bit less IMO. I guess with 2 sets of primary and secondary cats you can't avoid adding some weight but still...32 pounds?! Inexcusable.
