looking for an exhaust system upgrade for my sweet 550i. But dont know which one should i get. It's my daily ride, can't be too loud. But i need more passion when i put on gas. How about the supersprint? Can i put the 545i supersprint on the 550i? I really love the magnaflow, but they just don't have anything for my car.
any suggestions?

There are actually plenty. Search before posting.
Heres a couple of brands you can use to search: RD Sport Quads, Remus quads, Magnaflow quads, Hamann quads, Eisenmann quads and etc.

I have the Remus single on mine and find it to be just about right. It is more noticeable than stock, but maybe not as loud as I would like. It is a straightforward install, fits the stock valance fine and priced reasonably. That said, it does the 550i justice and I am happy with it.

An aftermarket exhaust will give more sound but don't be surprised if you achieve no power gains.
