What kind of E60 do you have? I couldn't tell by looking at the under carriage. Quads don't make sense on the 535's do they? Even though I've seen people on here put them on.

Quads don't make sense.....YET
Wait for the GT Exhaust from RPI comes out =)

I like your idea of replacing the resonator, I might do the same.

i can't take the full credit i got this from akalius.i paid $260 and its well worth it,tips alone cost $50 each custom piping and y pipe to magnaflow and custom piping again towards the back.they also had to match all mounting points for the rubber and brackets to keep it from vibrating.

Sounds GREAT man! I know you noticed the droning is gone now right? From before when you had quads I know you got a good amount of Magnaflow droning, but after the removal of the resonator and the placment of the exhaust it totaly gives it a beastier rumbling growl. Well done! It look fantastic man! BTW did you go with the 3.5 inch tips?
