Just got this beauty in late last night from the UPS man.
Cant wait to install it along with my KW V2 coils next week. Should sound great.

WOW, $799 for the RPI and $161 for the Magnaflow . Thats a big price difference.

Yes the Magnaflow is A LOT cheaper, but if you want the performance gains get the RPI.

Magnaflow is a generic muffler. No real difference between this and the common mufflers you see at ricer shops really. They are made in the same fashion and unless you have a full mag setup you will lose power. Also magnaflow has extreme dronning and it resonates like crazy.
RPI is a performance exhaust specifically for the M5 and half of that fits on the 525i/530i
Dyno gains were good and the sound cannot be beaten for the money.
I almost went with magnaflow but I wanted to treat my 530i to a real exhaust that I wouldnt feel the need to upgrade later on.
