Most likely I'll go with RPi because I hear a lot about it. I saw one for sale in the private classifieds but the guy is located in VA (I'm in NYC). Just wondering where I can get the best deal. I read a few threads about fitment issues so I've contacted a few shops in the area to see if they can get the job done.

Congratulations! I've been wanting one for a while now. Post pics and a video when you get it installed!

530xi. I'll definitely post a video to contribute to the forum. I've seen a few videos on youtube and I don't think it's too loud.

The 530 RPI exhaust isn't too loud.

Please keep us posted. My understanding was that the RPI exhaust system does not fit XI models? Maybe it needs some slight modification?

It fits. As for slight modifications, I read a few threads where fitment may be an issue so I'll let you guys know.

Ahh, my bad. I wasn't paying attention. You have a 530xi. The RPi exhause doesn't fit the 535xi. Lucky you... enjoy the new exhaust!
