My 545 should be coming in next month and I'm thinking about getting an aftermarket exhaust/muffler, such as the B&B. Anyone have a 545 with aftermarket exhaust that I could listen to on the East Coast? I'm in NYC and could go somewhere between Boston and DC pretty easily.

I will have an AC Schnitzer exhaust installed by the end of next week. I'm in DC. Let me know if you want to hook up. I toyed with Borla, which we could not get to fit and considered B&B. B&B has an undeniably fantastic note but so does Schnitzer - at about twice the price. Reason being: quality of workmanship. I've now run across countless warranty return stories from B&B owners compaining of cracking and bad welds after a year or so of normal use.

I'm 40 minutes outside of Boston. From what I can tell, I am one of the first B&B's on a 545. No quality issues whatsoever! If you are in the area I'd be happy to let you listen. Otherwise, click on the link in my sig and turn the volume up!

Here's some sound from the B&B website (530i). I have never heard any sound clip provide the sound of a B&B realistically. Maybe such clips would sound more realistic on a good computer sound system or with a computer connected to a home sound system.

jet190 - I just had a B&B installed on my 530 recently. I know you are looking for a 545 with the exhaust installed, but I figured you might want to hear it anyway. I am in NJ so if you are interested let me know.
