Well, finally got it... the vbands didn't line up so I had to do a lot of pushing and pulling and twisting the pipes. I had to take off the exhaust hangers again to get them to finally sit even close to right. I still had to really fight to get the vbands on and tightened. Hope they aren't leaking. Took the car for a victory cruise after and immediately forgot what it took to get there. I left the lower heat shields off, at least for now... I still have to reinstall the vacuum canisters and the mount for the hoses. This basically took me all weekend, but I was burdened with people visiting, (not to help) and missing/breaking tools. All worth it in the end though! Learned a lot about my x5M and it was fun, except when it wasn't.
