My Ride: A Car
I drive a 545i 6-speed.
I did a lot of searches but couldn't find exactly what I want. Some complains droning, some complains too loud, some complains too quiet. I am looking for an exhaust that is just as quiet as stock and all the way to approx 3500 rpm but when i floor it, i would like it to sound like a V8.
I dunno why but every V8 I have ever bought sounds so quiet. I like the quietness but it is a little TOO quiet. My CLK55 AMG was super quiet but definitely a lot louder when I floor it. I can barely hear the exhaust on this 545i. Still missed the HKS titanium exhaust on my Evo...

I'm used to shifting with my ears not my eyes. Now I am almost at redline and I dont hear anything. It's good when I want quietness. I'll try this and see what happens. I cant wait.
Now I wonder if anyone has pictures of before and after the resonator removal and kept the stock mufflers. And any sound clips?

I just installed a Magnaflow muffler and I love it. I barely hear the droning until I floor it . I also drive a 1963 Impala SS with Flowmaster 40 series. Maybe thats why the droning doesn't bother me that much. The stock setup was too quiet.

How loud is it? I already bought one and trying to get that installed sometime next week.
I want what OP said! quiet in normal use and nice deep growl at WOT
