My Ride: 2006 550i Black Saphire/Black Dakota Leather- Loaded- M5 Appearance Package, Sport Package, Pro logic 7 Premium Sound, Navigation, Cold Weather Package, Comfort Package, Heads-up Display, park Distance Control, Bluetooth, Active Steering, Electric Rear Sunshade, Rear Folding Seats, Front/Rear Heated Seats, Xenon lights, Satelite Radio- Extended Maintenance, CPO (Considering Tire/Wheel Insurance)
Anyone know the exact model/size for this car? Also, will it compromise the peace and quiet of normal day-day driving? I love the sound when hitting it, but dont want it when driving at 70mph with kids in back and wife in car. Thoughts?

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
Corsa, maybe?
Would be nice if Kreisseig made a kit for the 550i.

I have Hamann, which is nice but expensive. Very quiet on the freeway. I think it sounds nice from the outside, but the car is so quiet that I don't really hear it unless I open the windows. I would not mind something a little louder, but I also don't want the drone on the freeway.
But, I am looking at the quad systems and have not seen the install of what people do with the right side pipe on the magnaflow.

echo that.. if you want quiet when kids are in the car on cruise control, it's remus.
it wakes up and growls when you get on the gas though. It'll make you grin for sure.
I'm still possibly removing a resonator to get it a little louder...
