Looking into a little sound upgrade since with my tune, even though its significantly faster, (100HP) my car is still silent when it starts and basically when your accelerating. Looking for a little more noise without breaking the bank for a 2000$ exhaust that adds 10 HP.

Does anyone have a Remus Sport Exhaust? Michael from Acute told me you can custom fit the 545i remus exhaust onto the 535xi.

I know some other members have custom exhaust for under 1000$. NOT looking to do a muffler delete, heard it on a 335xi and it sounds like complete garbage!

POST SOME VIDS, Im sure other XI members are interested.

THANKS!

Hey maze... I'm sporting the Procede on my xi too. Love that tune. I'v been working on the chassis so far - M5 sway bar and pull rods. Suspension next.
Until you decide what to do with the muffler.... have you forced the muffler valve at the tail pipe to stay open? It helps a bit to get a little more bass out of it.

Hows the sway bar helping? Didn't realize they would fit on the 535. I haven't TOUCHED the muffler at all, was just looking to get some options for know. How do you force the muffler valve at the tail pipe to stay open? I love the procede tune its great for the money. Im hoping some other members will post some vids or options with there exhausts.

I am selling my HR Sport Springs and Bilstein B8 suspension system for XI. The bilstiens literally have 200 miles on them. If your interested LMK I can hook you up. I'll ship it and everything for a good price. Anyway, LMK on the above.

this doesn't sound bad?


YA TL im going to wait and see how the downpipes sound, will definitely have a more aggressive tone. This Tuesday I find out. 2,000$ is a lot!

Im interested in the cherry bomb as well, Ya i have a house on the south shore of long island maybe I come by on the way up soon.

How much was your whole setup?

Maze those videos are of the forum member DKNewYork. That e60 is an V8, ours is V6. It will not sound the same...
