iceman, that car in your photo cannot be your car, am i correct?
the 550i's dual pipes are actually each connected to a seperate muffler, like half an M5.
550i = 2 pipes = 2 tips = 2 mufflers.
M5 = 4 pipes = 4 tips = 4 mufflers.
the other fake pair sure look......its not for me.

I can try to answer your dual exhaust question. First if you want a true dual exhaust there's RDS which sells a true dual exhaust system. But I've heard they cost an arm and a leg. If you just want a dummy pipe on the rightside then you can either go with Eisenmann quad or Hamann quad exhaust system. I believe Hamann which is made by Supersprint is not as loud as Eisenmann Race quads but not to sure about that can anybody confirm that? Here are some pics of the Eisenmann Race quad exhaust.
If you want more sound go with Eisenmann. I was hanging out at wheelpower a few weeks back, and two M5's were getting work done, one with an Eisenmann Quad and the other with Hamann. The one with the Eisenmann Quad, I sh#t you not, sounded very similar to a Ferrari F430. The dude was just parking the damn car inside the warehouse and my eardrums started bleeding. I love it.
The other M5 with the Hamann Quad sounded very clean. Not as obnoxious as the Eisenmann. I like them both.
However, the sound of the Eisenmann Quad would bring terror to your local neighborhood which is why I love it so much
