My Ride: 2005 545i- Titanium Gray
Guys I recently installed a custom quad set up with Magnaflow but it is just a bit loud in the cabin for my old ears. I have heard the sound clips of the Remus Quad set up for my 545 and it sounds quite a bit quieter. I am not worried about it being too quiet, rather still loud in the cabin. So if anyone has this set up or has heard it inside and out can you comment? I know it utilizes somewhat of a "DUMMY" exhaust for the passenger side and that doesnt bother me.

Jake, the Remus Quad for the 545 is very conservative, with a slight growl. You should pm rodybmw, he is an expert on the Remus exhaust and cabin noise.
IMO, I would go stick with the magnaflow and add another resonator to tone down the drone.

I was the first to get the quad remus.. Rodybmw rode in my car right after I got it installed. We'll both tell you that there is zero droning (I have a 550) and it's quiet in the cabin. I can take calls in there and it sounds great. Now when I get on the gas hard, it growls hard and loud. Loud enough where my wife does notice when i'm on the phone with her that i'm racing at a light 
windows down, outside it'll turn heads everytime you get on the gas. It's got a good rumble at startup then mellows out to a purr.
I'd suggest it to anyone who wants it beefy when they get on the exhaust but want zero drone in cabin and relatively stock quiet at slow idle or cruise control.
Now, that being said I still debate on a center resonator delete, which I still might do and put it back on if i don't like it. I think it'll be too loud.. i'm still hoping someone else tries it first..
if you hate the magnaflow.. remus you'll love. I had a magnaflow on an old car, and to be honest I never liked the sound. Too muscle car sounding like a mustang. The remus gives a good german growl.

I'm looking at the custom dual muffler set-up that macfly had done.
Macfly - you out there
What's the sound, droning difference?

Do you have the single muffler set-up for the Remus?

I am very happy with the Remus quad (dual) set up. I went from stock to magnaflow which had crazy droning to this remus and it has almost zero droning in the cabin and sounds great outside. As others have mentioned it is a tamer exhaust but it sounds great in my opinion.
