Ok I am installing my AE tonight, I have not done a full exhaust just mufflers..and it probably is common sense..but my thoughts are to install the mid pipe on the hangers, then install the front pipes which bolt up to the downpipes..I don't think the front pipe should be left hanging on the bolts. Last is the rear section. Yes?

I always just started at the front and worked my way back with connecting section 1 at the downpipes first, then the midpipes, and then the rear section with the mufflers. I guess it would work either way without too much difficulty though since the AE exhaust has flanges instead of slip joints.

Agree with boostedBMW. Just installed AE for friends 335 started with the front and to the rear. The only thing we encountered is the bolt that holds up the hanger for the front part of the exhaust( one right after the DP). It was too short because the AE piping is larger. So we bought the metric bolt that was about half and inch longer, and that worked. Funny how AE did not come with that bolt! But it's only $1 at home depot.

^ My AE system came with that bolt. They may have just forgotten to package it with yours. But yes, front to back worked for me.

LOL! friend and I were wondering why they would not come with that bolt! Oh well.
