Does anyone have sound clips for a 550i with the muffler deleted? I am considering removing the stock muffler and running a Y pipe from the single resonator to create a dual system. Any thoughts?

What are you trying to accomplish? Looks? Power? Sound?

+1. My guess is it would sound louder.

If you do a custom setup you will lose power. RPI sysems have the highest gains in the market. There is no other exhaust that comes even close to their performance gains.

Wow you guys beat me to the punch line. I was going to recommend that to him if he was looking for power/sound. Well if you're looking at the RPi for the 550i, hit me up I'm an authorized dealer.
