Have any of you guys on here had (have) a Meisterschaft exhaust on your E60 M5? I've been considering getting one, as i've heard they make a pretty good gain HP wise. Any of you know for a fact? I know they sound amazing, as i've heard them on YouTube, and if it sounds awesome on there, then it should sure as hell sound amazing in person!!
Just really after thoughts and advice. Especially from you that have or have had one!
Thanks in advance guys!

I know that the majority on here swear by RPI. And I am not knocking them whatsoever, they're amazing exhausts. I just can't decide which to get! Gene is saying RPI all the way, and I tend to agree considering all the work they have put into manufacturing them and the gains they DO make! But I kinda prefer the noise from the Meisterschaft, but like you said, gains!?! I have read that they do achieve some pretty good gains of circa 10hp+, but I just don't know how true that is...
Some more input would be greatly appreciated guys!!
Help me decide!!

I've had the Meisterschaft with carbon fiber tips. It sounded good, but I ended up selling it and I purchased this exhaust. I love the oval offset tips and mean sound!

Here's how it sounds with section one straight pipe secondary cat deleted, and with a section two with X-pipe resonator delete. The sound is very aggressive!

I have it and love the way it sounds. I have sec 1,2 & 3. I don't have a concrete answer on the gains but I know Ahmed (member Designo) has it on his M5 and his car makes over 480 whp on a dynojet. Real world gains I don't know as I've never run anyone with a full RPI setup and have yet to see a video of the two directly compared.

Thanks for all your help so far guys. I honestly think I am going to stick with the Meisterschaft. It's that or RPI. The sound of the Meisterschaft is amazing though!! I will be going to RPI for the air intake system and pulleys etc I reckon.

Haha!! I had a feeling someone would say that! I don't know dude, that Meisterschaft is one mean sounding piece of kit! Not that the RPI isn't, of course, but I kinda prefer the Meisterschaft! And I know that RPI's have proven considerable gains, but doing research the last few hours, so do Meisterschaft... Meh!! Hard to choose!! Either way, it WILL have an exhaust on this summer!! And wheels... And RPI air system...
