Al right I am trying to get my car to a point that I will be happy enough to stop modding for a while. What exhaust are you all partial to? And where to get it and the price if you remember. I am rolling a 530xi with mtech kit.

My fav is Eisenmann Race. Will run you about 1100-1200. No droning in the cabin at all.

ive been more than satisfied with my eisenmann. many members have RDSport, remus, magnaflow, and some others. i havent seen or heard supersprint on an e60 yet though. and btw, you could always go for a custom exhaust as well.

Custom exhaust in US most likely would be MagnaFlow. I'm not sure if there is any better brand out there.

I have Eisenmann Race, its quiet if you dont take any resonators out. I took out only the single resonator that goes from two to one pipe. Debating if i should take the two canister out. But so far it sounds good.

It seems everyone likes the eisenmann. I dont want it loud I just want it to have a nice rumble and nice tips.

the eisenmann is not loud at all when alone. some people even say that it sounds almost stock. if you go with the eisenmann, be sure to get the eisenmann race exhaust. the tips are nice, i would say. the right tip is longer than the left sort of to shape with the curve of the bumper. if youre not satisfied with the sound of the eisenmann, you could go to the route that many have taken by replacing the resonator(s) with straight piping for more deepness and rumble. on my e60, i have the eisenmann race and took out the rectangular resonator and am satisfied with the sound. the drone in the cabin is not too much either, but for me, i enjoy hearing my own exhaust and knowing that its there as some would say. the drone is to the point where i enjoy it. hope this helps in some way. good luck with your choice.

KU530 - I went with the Magnaflow. I did it for the price, the look and the sound. It's not bad at all compared to stock, when it comes to sound and it looks great. And you can'tbeat the price! Here's a pic of the one I got.

PS - Thanks to Alpinewhite for all his help and video clips!
