Hello there,

i just wanna ask the RPI users .. i just got my new ride 545i model 04' and i'm thinking of installing RPI exhaust, im not looking for the sounds, im seeking power yup ..!!

so please advise with this product .. how much it cost ? and how big the difference between the stock 545i and modded RPI exhausts 545i ..!?

the RPI exhaust is a clamp-on, no welding is involved. guaranteed you will gain in power, and the exhaust in my personal opinion lets the sound of the V8 out. it is in stock as well

If you want to 'feel' an increase in accelration and dont care about sound then this is not for you. You wont "feel" 11hp or any exhaust mod on a NA engine-youll think you wasted your money. RPI is good if you want a great sound with no loss in performance as many exhausts cause-and as a benefit you pick up 5 to 10hp so that is fine but you should do this for sound

While you are corect but almost no mod really gives you more than 10 hp. So getting the exhaust and then other mods, you will feel the difference.

That is my old car in the link Eurocarham (Tony) gave you.... I could definitely feel a power gain! I loved how my car sounded! You will not be disappointed!

If you haven't already, u might as well pick up a RPI scoop/BMC filter combo when you buy your RPI exhaust. All have been proven to increase hp. Trinity carries RPI products, as does Acute Performance. Both are well respected vendors here.

I can't see why it would cause any problems down the road. What were you thinking might happen? I've had an aftermarket exhaust on my old car for well over 5 years and not a single problem (granted it wasn't RPI but that shouldn't matter in this case).
