My Ride: 2004 BMW E60 530i, upgrades: Magnaflow exhaust, Mtec angel eyes and low beam head lights, Just purchased 172 style wheels, looking around for the best tires on Tire Rack now. R1 concepts rotors drilled/slotted. Saving for the M-style kit from Trinity Auto.
Love it, I got the same thing!

Seeing how you have a 535, aren't you concerned those crush bends affect performance? Maybe it's the angle of the pic, but the first bend they made looks like the diameter is almost reduced by half.

My Ride: 08 535i
I got mines installed yesterday. My local mechanic didn't have the equipment required to do the install so I took it to a muffler shop in the Bronx. They did a great job. They added a small section of curved pipe and enlarged one of the ends to match the diameter of the existing.
I like the deep tone sound of it. It mostly noticeable as you accelerate in the local streets. It was hard to hear the difference in the expressway due to wind and ambient noise; I'll have to group up with a 2nd car to see if can hear the sound better.
Please note that the muffler doesn't come with the support hangers, so those must be added and welded on.
Where did you order your muffler from? I see you have a 535i also

I ordered the 16559 from www.jegs.com. I picked it up for $495 + $19 for shipping. This is a cat back exhaust system by Magnaflow. The first 700 miles is the break in period. It sounds perfect. I will make a you tube video and post it up for you guys.

My Ride: None
Wow that muffler looks really good! I will be upgrading mine soon too and have a white 535i. Can you take some pics of it now that your car is off the lift? It'll give me a good idea if that's the look I want. Thanks!!!
