Most people I know that go catless do it not only for performance but mostly for sound.

I went with some stainless steel headers that were made for a e46 330i from bimmerbrakes and had them modified to fit the e60.

Check out my thread on them.

535i guys will not get rasp as the turbos them selves work as mufflers, thats why when you hear a turbo car with straight exhaust its just loud and no rasp, but on a NA car it will get a LOT of rasp.
