14815 has straight double-walled 3.0" tips
14816 has straight double-walled 3.5" tips
Any one of these should work.

Check my signature for more links to vids/sounds on a 545i.
Btw, I may have a 14862 up for sale soon
If you're interested, let me know. I'm open to trading it for a Honda

I just got this very same model installed on my 545i this past weekend and it SOUNDS AMAZING!! It's nice deep growl and it's very moderately priced. I just got single side exhaust upgrade so if you get the quad exhaust I can't even imagine how loud that will be considering mine is already so loud. It sounds exactly like a Z71 with FlowMasters on it... that's how best I can put it!! Also, my top end acceleration has really improved too b/c of it. If you think your car jumps fast from 60 - 110mph now wait till you get this. Of course I also have an AFE CAI but still, MagnaFlow is definitely the way to go!!!

I likes my 14862 on a 545. Dranged has the 14816 and I understand he's happy as he can be without it saying Dinan on it. 
There is a bit of backpressure lost which will impact your torque. Its more of a noisemaker for me so Im not too worried about the loss.
Search youtube, I have a vid up there as well as many others.

Oh, here is a link for the MagnaFlow... my car looks just like this except for those rims and sounds, I think, even louder and better. Enjoy!
