I am new to the forum. I have owned a 740il, an X5 4.6is and E46 M3 and have never modified the exhaust on any of them. I have a 2004 E60 545i and was wondering what to go with.

Other than Dinan (not the cost, I just like value), what would you suggest for what I know will be a nominal upgrade in HP, but a good low sounding note?

Thanks for the help!

I would vote for Remus. Probably the cheapest option and from the sound clips I've heard of other members here, they sounded great.

Tony,
You prefer Remus to your Dinan?
How much does Remus cost compared to Dinan?

No, I love my Dinan exhaust.

grayhawkglen asked what other exhaust we would recommend besides the Dinan so I said Remus.

The Remus is selling for $594 through www.bavauto.com whereas the Dinan is $1400.

My car is at Dinan's headquarter as we speak
I think I end up with Dinan exhaust because of your car
I never like loud exhaust sound, but the Wenty(?) meet end up making me changing my mind completely I'm now obsessed with the sound on Dinan exhaust on you car Hopefully, I can get my car back by the end of the week
