i have the eisenmann dual exhaust on my 530i along with a resonator delete. i was rear ended pretty hard on saturday.. and i had my girlfriend and another girl in the car at the time. damage... eh... i have to replace the bumper which hopefully the lady that hit me will pay up... well she has to. anyway... after the accident my exhaust didnt sound as loud as it was before. there was no damage on the bumper near the exhaust though.. both my girlfriend and friend agreed that it wasnt as loud as before. any ideas why? planning to get it checked tomorrow after school.

Is it the m5 rear bumper? Say, if your insurance is going to cover a new one for you, do you think I can buy the used one (if it's not crack)? PM me.

sorry its not an M5 rear.. its the OEM rear. insurance wont cover it because for now im not planning to report it. one, i dont want my insurance to go up. two, the lady that hit me has her liscence suspended.
