Hi,
I have an 06 525xi....the stock exhaust pipes are starting to rust over and I'm looking for an easy, inexpensive replacement solution. I have been looking at the magnaflow 14816, but it seems to carry much more sound then I care for, even with the resonator. I'm looking for some sound, but not THAT much. If I had a V8, I might reconsider...anyway..I've seen the other expensive options out there....anyone else know who makes replacement mufflers/pipes? Or how about a different magnaflow that isn't so loud?I appreciate your input.

Hi Mike,
How about the RPI single sided exhaust for $799? I have it in stock. The sound is very subtle until you open it up. Here is a youtube clip:

Hi Joe...thanks for the reply. I'm just now ordering my LCI tail lights and cables from Bruce, so this is next in line. $800 is a little more then I wanted to spend, but I may reconsider, simply because there's not a lot of options out there. Plus, the RPI looks and sounds great. I'll look you up in a month or two when I'm ready to pull the trigger.....thanks again.
