E60 550i exhaust mods
Evening ladies and gents,
Anyone done a 2 pipe mod like they do on the e92 m3's?
as I'm looking for abit more noise but not too much and defo dont want any drone just abit more v8 soundtrack under load.
Pic above is a open back box of a e92 m3 and are modded by covering up the perforated pipes with sheets of metal wrap the more section covered the more noise.
has anyone opened up the oem box on the 550i?
Kindest regards

Its a pretty common mon on the E90 chassis (M3 , N52 and N54 cars).
I was planning on doing this with my N52 E60 but havent seen any open; Through googling images I found someone who opened a 535 n54 muffler for this mod (which happens to be the exact same part as the 545/550 muffler). I don't remember where I found it but it is out there
