My Ride: 2008 550i, M Sport, Platinum Gray, Logic 7, Navigation, Comfort Access
Basically, in the 550i there are three resonators running through the middle which ends with the muffler at the end. I had the resonators removed and replaced with a 3 inch Y pipe going straight into the muffler. With this setup, the new sound is just much more aggressive. I'm in Torrance btw.

I just love this god damn exhaust of this car. It doesnt have any drone and sounds so cool when you hear it from outside. Its not loud that a cop is going to pull you over at the same time it a decent level of sound that will turn heads.
Guys this video is nothing, its a 100 times better to listen to this exhaust note in person.
The note of the exhaust is just terrific !

No problems with state inspection or emissions.

There is a very simple way to increase the sound, it wont cause any errors or anything. The only downside will be you will go from sound to noise very soon. Well then again, it is upto an individual what he defines as sound and what he defines as noise, if you know what I am talking about.
I can show you the trick when we meet up - Doesnt hurt to try, since with my idea, you can always revert back.

Jashy, is one to take the initiative & risk to invent\discover and not one to just follow.
If you go back in time(search) you would read about Jashy Supercharging his 530i which was, I guess, one of a kind, still cant forget that thread.
Lets see what we can come up with

Funny you say that man, after reading this comment I read all 9 pages of the supercharger thread and a tear came down. I miss it so much and all the noise it made. I posted up some videos... R.I.P
