Hey guys ,

I did my research and found out how restrictive the oem muffler is , as of now I basically want the car flow better and maybe gain a little top end.

The rpi looks and sounds like a great exhaust. Before I pull the trigger on a 700 dollar system , I came across this on ebay..

has anyone heard this exhaust in person , any ideas?

You can't go wrong with the RPI, I didn't heard the exhaust in your link, but I know I would not buy a no-brand exhaust from ebay...you should contact Nerweel from trinity autosport, he can help you with your purchase and they have a overstock sale now I think, since I was interested in the RPI, but changed my mind for a quad exhaust setup..

If you want to heard some other exhaust system, take a look on the supersprint exhaust, the borla, remus, these are a bit more expensive, around 1k $

GL with your purchase !

You better see what its really made of. I was looking at an exhaust for my 335 and it was made of poor quality stainless steel SUS-304 . Looked it up online and it will rust. You get what you pay for..

Here, mines not quad but it sounds just like this just a tad quieter tho. I did it after a saw this video,this guy is a forum member he went quad with no rear section mufflers. His car is a 525 or 528 I think. I have a 530Xi
