Been looking into some cheap options for exhausts and ran into this auction for a magnaflow 16553, it's listed at $759 but you could probably get it even cheaper if you make an offer, they even offer free shipping. Most other websites I've seen sell this exhaust for $850-$1100, shipping not included in price. It's suppose to be stainless steel and a full catback exhaust, does anyone have one of these already or know someone that does? Wondering what it sounds like and how much droning issues there are with these magnaflow exhausts. Tubing I think is 3.5" not sure though.

Within the next week I am having a custom system made up for my car so you can have what I have now. Its 2 cherry bomb mufflers with an x-pipe. Will fit your car perfectly

I don't have a m5 bumper so I can only go with a single exhaust setup

Yeah DK had cherry bombs, I'm not a huge fan of them though. They sound mean as hell but are an absolute power loss.

Nope. He has a 535xi.

Not much power loss. Turns out the clutch was going. Once I replaced the clutch, it was all good.

What setup are you doing now? From my understanding the cherry bombs don't sound as good on a v6 then it does on a v8. [sorry to thread jack Persian]
