We have decided to look into a quad exhaust set up for the 545i. For this to happen we require a STOCK 545i. This means the car needs to be as if it just came off the assembly line. No exterior or performance mods. We will need you to leave the car here for at least two weeks and allow us to put on a few hundred miles for testing. Please call us at 562-630-5966 or send me a PM. Thanks.

droool... With your experience, would a quad exhaust have more or less horsepower/torque increase than a single sided?

Single sided will produce more power than quad setup. We have tested this before but this was with another manufacturer and not BMW. We will do our testing and find out for certain with the 545i.

This is what I want.

When it comes to a dual set up, I'm looking for no loss in hp.

So you're building one with a functional muffler on the right side? I assume so but just wanted to confirm.

Because of space, its my personal belief that a single sided exhaust will give the best performance and going quad would purley be for cosmetic reasons. Being known for performance if it makes no power we wouldn't make it. At best you can hope for the same performance as a single sided.

Any news? And If you guys fabricate one, and decide not to mass produce it, can I buy the prototype?

what if a 545 buys the rpi duals right now and then later on decided to go quads, is it going to be a different set-up or just buy the one for the right side?

If/when a quad setup is built, it'll be a different system than the dual.
