Hi guys,
So im thinking of maybe getting a magnaflow exhaust and a ram air kit..How would that affect the performance of my car? Sound?

I'm not really ready to spend lots of money on a full exhaust..i know some ppl said they lost power with magnaflow but its not a big issue with me.


Thanks

I have the magnaflow on my 545i and I must say, it was $$ well spent, I LOVE the sound, I have had folk with expensive Muffler telling that my car sound way better than theirs. why pay all that $$ for a muffler, you are not gonna get much if any noticable performance from a expensive muffler

On a 530I I say get what you like. You will never make that car comparable to a 545/550 even with a supercharger.

Has anyone mentioned to you yet that Magnaflow actually has been reported to cause a power decrease?

V - I dont think he cares about performance. IMHO, I would rather spend my money on RPI even tho I have a 530 as well. I'd rather gain a few HP than lose any.
