Also, Hyundai Sonatas have duals. Don't the Genesis too?


I'm not talking the exact rims the 335 has, since the car is smaller so its tips are smaller too.

I thought about it a bit and it seems the 5er would look a bit weird with the two tips on each side. Maybe that's why BMW didn't do it. But maybe if they actually made the tips in a way that it complemented the style of the 5er... I dunno.

The 550i Sport rear bumper and exhaust look just PERFECT they way they come.. The Quad only looks good on the M5 bumper.. and having 1 on each side like the 335 would look ugly IMO

jpg]Quads and two singles look terrific on 5ers. MB, Ford, Nissan, Infiniti, etc all do both. See attached.

Ford even emulates the 5er - see attached.

535i exhaust is a full primary cat-back system.

* it's a true dual system with two separate exhaust systems per turbo. This GT system eliminates the 535i's secondary catalytic convertors.
* 4000rpm.
* Dyno testing yielded a 10whp gain and over 20wtq over the stock exhaust
* made of high quality T-304 stainless steel
* RPi's standard Limited Lifetime Warranty
* 100% made in the USA.


NEW RELEASE - 550 exhaust - COMING August 17th!!!

You just lost me - a true dual system would have two cats. Or were you comparing the stock 535i with the RPI setup?

Emissions legal?
How much?

LOL at this one. Which car is that?

Watching Top Gear it sounds like the Lexus IS-F has faked quads too.

For the 535 it's single-sided w/ dual piping and dual tips.

The NEW 550 is a single axel back.
