Finally I got my exhaust fitted yesterday and it sounds so good
It has two 70mm pipes coming out under the middle of the rear end, will post some pics when I have time. Also fitted a new air filter by k&n, some lowering springs (30mm) an the BMW bodykit, it looks great!
If anyone is interested maybe I can give him an answer, their website (www.mst-wiesmann.de) is not up to date
Lots of question on lowering the car as this is something I will want to do:
What is the clearance like at the front wheels after the 30mm drop? How easy were the lowering springs to fit - what tools were needed? Did you have to do a four wheel alignment after lowering the car?

Only have one good pic, the garage where I have made my pics was reflecting the flashlight of my camera, so further pics tomorrow evening.
Haven't fitted the lowering springs myself, but only 1 hour for mst-wiesmann and nothing special required (except the tools you need to change springs at every car). The price is lower than that of the spax-kit, but height is not adjustable and the original dampers are used.

Handling is nearly the same as before. The car doesn't feel much harsher, the springs simply change "the look". The springs were 180€, don't know how much it is in your currency.
I think it's even a little bit better, but that's subjective, have not driven a slalom or something else. Comfort is a little bit less then before but still enough
I got a new part for the rear bumper without this cut out for my old one with the cut out, I think mst-wiesmann will fill the cut out up and paint it grey again so maybe you will get my old part when ordering your exhaust
The new exhaust is low enough so it's not necessary to cut the new part.
