So which is it? No change or negative?
Save up if your patient and want to be 100% satisfied in the long run.
Or buy a single side magnaflow now if you just want to get it over with.

I had a single sided magnaflow 14816 muffler before I went with a custom quad magnaflow setup. I noticed with the single 14816 muffler a slight gain in power, but when I went custom quad magnaflows I began to notice my car getting slower overtime, I may just go straight pipes w/x-pipe real soon. I also noticed overtime that magnaflow mufflers become deeper and quieter after driving about 1000 miles or so.

i just had done the 14816 muffler and 1 resonator delete. It doesnt feel like i lost power at all. If anything it really feels like i have gained...For the money, i think its a great bang for the buck!
If you have the v8 it sounds like a beast! i havnt heard any other magnaflow exhaust on a bmw in person

how loud do you think it would be on the 535 twin turbo engine? I don't think I would remove any resonators...just stock everything up until the magnaflow muffler...
low end, there is a rumble but once you pass 2500 rpm it sounds stock until you ease into your throttle and enjoy the sweet exhaust note.
