Default 525i exhaust help!

Can someone help me out? I have deleted the stock resonator and put a single in single out Magnaflow with my dual tips. I believe the part number for the Magnaflow is 11134. Problem is i can barely hear it. It is not near loud enough and it is too much of a whistle sound. Someone school me on exhaust i need help! Thanks!

I ended up putting on a Magnaflow 14816 and its plenty loud (but not obnoxious imo) and I've gotten quite a few compliment about it. I know it's too late since you already installed yours, but it might be easier to just put on a new muffler if you don't like it. Mine only cost 250 with welding and piping included.

Here's a YouTube clip of mine. The windows were down in this video.

I'll get a sound clip of a cold start and some revs tomorrow
