Default Muffler Question

Is the 550i muffler the same as the 545i muffler? How about the 535i muffler? Thanks!

No, I tnhink the 545's have vacuum actuated dampers, I think the older model V-8's. I know mine didnt have the dampers when I went to duals. Not sure about your 08. 535 would be different as well.

I think they stopped with the vacumm damper when they did the LCI in 08. My muffler doesnt have a vacuum line on it.

When I put my Remus axle back in I just plugged the vacuum line and tucked it in the frame. You really don't need it since our cars are pretty quiet since there 2 set of cats and a resonator before the rear muffler. The Remus axle back was also designed for a 545i and fits fine.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I have a magnaflow now and it's too loud, looking to trade with someone for their stock and wasn't sure if I need to go with 550i only.

I will record a sound clip and post it. It sounds awesome, but my wife is giving me crap about it. Just want to go back to stealth mode and I purchased this car with the mod already complete.
