Sup jet190rs,

No problems except i'm getting no backpressure which means my 550 is slow

Just ask vegastrash about it

But it sounds really nice

Didn't think I would see this, eh? HAHAHAHAHAHA.... Slow poke!

It's true, it is slower than stock 545/550 but DAMN!!!!!, it sounds AWESOME. At the San Diego Meet we had a sound off between brian1225's B&B and iceman's M5 exhaust. No contest whatsoever.

why does noone talk about the RDsport dual exhaust (not quad)? I personally love it sounds and looks amazing.

Probably because of the price...

For anyone thinking about the possible performance benefits from mods, check this thread out. Also, note that I have never seen a post by anyone with a modded 545i or 550i that implies that his or her car is faster than, say, the average stock car. The only mod that I think would be worthwhile is the change to a lower rear end and then to drag radials (which likely would be necessary at least on a manual or a Steptronic). I don't know enough about SMG's to know how they would react wheel-spin wise, but my bet is that they would require drag radials too. Note that I am ignoring the possibility that anyone would engage in what would likely be a disaster--having, for example, a supercharger or NOS installed.

Hey iceman316,
Wanna go on a tour to VF Engineering with me in OC to check out the supercharger? I'm shooting for the last week of December or early January. Hollywoodtrash can hook it up.
