Another option would be to delete the box resonator near the rear axle or the two cylindrical resonator tubes behind the primary cats.

thats what I did, remove the two tube style resonators, and opened the exhaust valve...sounds great.

I have the Remus on mine and find it to be a nice blend between civility and sound for the type of car we drive.
I do too (545i), but it's not too civil :-)

Anyone have actual pictures of the 08 550i sport auto muffler? I want to see if there is a difference in design. Thanks.
