As the title states, i'm debating if i should install the exhaust or not because of fear that i might lose HP due to backpressure. Please advise, HELP!!!

Its been done on a 525 by a member in Singapore but he never said he lost HP. John go aftermarket. OEM exhaust are restricting and not free-flowing exhaust.

Go with Remus or Eisenmann for aggressiveness.
Tell me this...why would people dump their M5 exhaust for aftermarket John?

Now with the explanation from the above link, backpressure should NOT be a concern correct???

PS: on the exhaust, I hope you are sure on the M5 exhaust is the right one. Here is the cons: it is heavy and second, it may sound a slightly deeper than stock.
