I would say go with the magna if that's what you like and can afford. Of course there will always b some cabin noise with turbo mufflers. But to me the magna doesn't sound to much diff than the rpi. A lot of guys where running magnas b4 rpi came out.

Rkhettry23,
check out my feeler post for the 535 RPI exhaust. If you are interested be sure to put your name on the list. RPi usually has an introductory price for the first few exhausts. The exhaust hasn't been priced yet but should be under $2000 for the full gt race exhaust. The GT Race Exhuast is being test fitted on my vehicle and will be available shortly.

Yea i'm not looking to drop anything close to that right now. I do not need my exhaust to add performance, just sound and looks...

does anyone have one of these installed? I'm looking for a cheap but good looking and sounding muffler (full exhaust is out of my budget, but want something aggressive sounding). I don't really care about any performance (as long as it does not decrease my performance haha)....also what kind of tips would look good on our cars?
here is the link btw

While i agree with everyone to get the RPI, heck if i had the cash i would have too. I purchased the Mtech kit at the same time i got the Magnaflows, so dishing out another grand was not an option, and i was sure not going to have ugly stock tips. The droning factor depends on the person, but it can get annoying depending if you stay in D mode all the time. The sound is great, its not overly aggressive, yet very aggressive. As for losing HP, i have a single side so it wont be as bad as quads, which most members had. If you really want an exahust then get the magnaflows, if not save up and get the RPI, Which is amazing overall. I will eventually get the RPI once i have the funds, but im pretty satisfied for the meantime.

but if I had to get one for pure sound, regardless of performance, i would go with magnaflow from trinity. The sound can be altered by adding removing/keeping the secondary cats and resonators. If you use the search bar you can find many threads regarding the cats/resonators. Good luck

+1 for the Magnaflow....
I paid 220 installed for mine and I love it... I didn't notice any difference in the HP at all... The sound was exactly what I was looking for. Are you guys racing your 5 series anyway?

raj the dinan free flow exhaust is not a full exhaust. Just know if you end up getting a muffler you will loose power.
but if I had to get one for pure sound, regardless of performance, i would go with magnaflow from trinity. The sound can be altered by adding removing/keeping the secondary cats and resonators. If you use the search bar you can find many threads regarding the cats/resonators. Good luck

Sticking with just a muffler from a legit company like dinan, SS, eisenhaus, you will gain as much or more than the full setup unless it is rpi based on what they have shown anyway.
Hate when people just say things without any evidence to back
