Hi all,

I am new to this forum, does anyone has a good conditioned stock muffler and tips for sale?

Another question... if I do not want loud muffler, just want something as quiet as the stok muffler, what should I get?

Thanks much in advance.

Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi again,

I have done some research in this forum. I am not trying to get an expensive muffler/tips, not in a big budget.

Is Magnaflow a brand that works well with BMW, or with 530i?

What is the loudness of the Mgnaflow compares to the stock muffler?

THANKS AGAIN.

There's nothing quieter than the stock, though the magnaflow turbo mufflers are not too loud, but will be louder than your stock.

I'll sell you my stock muffler from my 550 if you want it. It's got about 8,000 miles on it. I replace it with the Dinan muffler.

Hi pa550,

Thanks for your offer, unfortunately the mufflers for 550i does not fit 530i. Thanks anyways

Hi Bimmer32,

Thanks for your response...

Is there really a big, obvious difference in power/performance without the stock muffler? I heard straight-thru mufflers increase the HP for 3-5%, is that really true and can the increase of HP be felt?

If there is not much different, I may just try to get a stock replacement.

Thanks again...
