You should check out the Mods subforum. I posted some recent thread on exhaust upgrades and exhaust theories in general. Keep in mind that when you go with aftermarket exhaust, most of them will have droning or resonance unless you have a chambered or baffled muffler somewhere done the line.

Also because the car in the video has a lot more than just the Meisterschaft mufflers - it has full exhaust which includes Evospot headers, no cats, and Eisenmann section 1&2 pipes.

If you want something that aggressive (albeit with a different tone), you'll need straight pipes in place of your mufflers (check out member Hamann5's car) or M5 aftermarket mufflers (like my car), plus resonator delete, plus aftermarket headers.

Wow -- that M5 sounds wonderful! Too bad an inline 6 will never sound like that.

I'm happy with my B&B and while some people say it is among the loudest, I really don't think it is that loud. Quality of constrution and fit are excellent. B&B has a sound clip of a 530 on their website.
