Love the higher rpm sound coming from the RPI exhaust especially that part where you revved it under the bridge! Sounds like a beast!! I'm on the verge on getting this exhaust because i don't like the sound when the car is in idle. It burbles alot IMO. I would love to see this exhaust in action though. Usually it's a whole lot different in person. Congrats on the new toy and great vid BTW.

Power and sound. That's what you're buying. To back both points up, my car competed against a 2001 modded M5 and it was a virtual tie. He says he beat me by a car, but it was at most half a car...I was the passenger and could've reached out and touched the M5 at the end. Anyways, the guy I raced was proud enough to post this on floridagerman.com...


E39///M5 vs 535i

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Closed course


2001 ///M5 mods Shark injector, corsa exhaust & light weight fly wheel.

2008 535i mods JB3, RPI full exhaust


both cars have a passenger. 40-140. perfect take off for both off us M5 slowly pulls away and at 140 M5 by a car.

535i had an amazing sounding exhaust
.





So, though he was overstating his few foot victory, he made a point to mention the "amazing sounding exhaust".



PS A higher map number or more octane and he's toast next time...

if you race him from the dig you would have won. I raced an e39 m5 with similar mods, and wasted him off the line by 3.5 cars. by the time we were in the double digit speeds, i was too far ahead even though he was pulling a little

Hey thanks!


Dbae, that explains why he refused to race my car from 0. He said the wheels would spin.

PS Take that car on a track, like Sebring, and I think I handle the M5 - too heavy to maneuver.

best review to-date for RPI!

I'm really wondering if my regular I-6 is going to sound like your 535i. If it does, wow. I really want one...
