Heck even my MPE Oem tips came a little crocked. Cant imagine a custom exhaust would be perfect!!

I agree with you 100% and that is the route I usually choose. Every performance vehicle I have owned I have done just that. But this is an X5 35i we are talking about. Not exactly a serious performance vehicle. I am just an enthusiast and hate the idea of having a stock vehicle. It's a serious problem! Haha
My issue is an ACS or something comparable will cost me close to $4000 after shipping, taxes and exchange. A well done custom can be had for in and around $1000 so it's a thought worth looking into. Spending $4000 for no performance gain, a change in sound and different tips might be a bit too much to justify. Especially if some people have had success achieving similar results with custom set ups. Don't get me wrong, I understand that the quality of those brand name exhausts is top notch and it would be my ideal choice. If I was able to buy it at around $2000 like my neighbors to the south I probably would.
