Do you feel any performance boost simply from the addition of this exhaust, or does it just sound better? I am seriously considering them, but I really want an exhaust with an appreciable performance difference.

I can't feel a difference but if there is one, I'll bet it can't be more than 5 to seven hp. The stock exhaust is pretty efficient as it is. Maybe one of the other members with a different performance exhaust can give their opinion.

My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black. Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

Having had mine for approx. 1 month+, I do feel a slight boost in the mid range and high end. And, in case you were wondering, no it is not the sound that makes you think that because the increased sound tapers off at higher RPMs anyway.

Just my opinion...but, I know other B&B owners feel the same.

Good Luck!!

I doubt there is any performance boost using aftermarket exhaust. Maybe a 2-4hp, which does not really matter. Instead the sound of the exhaust that matters...
