My Ride: 2008 550i
I don't post often, I guess I am really just a lurker. But I wanted to share my son's thoughts on my new RPI Exhaust.
First let me say my son is 3 years old and crazy about cars. He knows the make of every car of all our family, friends, etc.
I started the car in front of him today and he quickly turned his head to look at me and said "daddy that's a new vroom on your car. It's super loud"
My wife has been in the car 3 times since the install and she has yet to have any clue about my new vroom.
FYI the exhaust is sweet and sounds great. It was extra loud in the cabin the first 2-3 days but has seemed to mellow to a perfect level.
