Any suggestions as to which to get when it comes to an exhaust?

I have a 545i 6-speed and I'd really like to hear my exhaust when I'm playing with the throttle.

Overall, I like how the Billy Boat and RPi exhausts look on the car as the Dinan exhaust looks dinky (doesn't fit the entire cutout of the exhaust section on the bumper compared to the BB and RPi).

I threw in Remus as an option because I live in the Bay Area, and JLevi's isn't far away from my work, so I can pick it up pretty quick if needed and the exhaust isn't too expensive. I know I should save up and shell out for a SuperSprint or any exhaust within that caliber, but I'd rather save the extra dough for other mods.

Which would you recommend for those who are driving a 6-speed?

I went through numerous videos on YouTube to hear exhaust notes and honestly, they all sound good. I'm not too sure how crazy I can go with the exhaust setup, some guys on YouTube have clips with Cherry Bombs or custom piping to Magnaflows...I'm clueless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I liked the audible tone of the SuperSprint, but then again...I'm not sure which path to take, hence this forum.

Should I do any other piping or whatever if I get the RPi exhaust? Or is the RPi exhaust by itself sufficient?
