stop this bs 
, again every week you start all, all over again, HAMANN Motorsport only had and has real quads.
Many customers know it and use it LoL
Make a search and even like that if you like RD your money for that exhaust 10.000?$ well spent
But both the older type and the newer type is REAL and TRUE quad.
We discussed it once, here, make a search or come with facts and if you like contact HAMANN engineers please and discuss with them, I said I am happy for your RD setup your money.
But as we discussed once make a search also my530i once saw also Andy that the HAMANN ones are TRUE quads they have two way of flowing system and two separate mufflers.
The only thing is you guys have not BIG imaginations to believe that other than RD can be real and still no need for your obsessed X-pipe Thank you for stoping saying things which are not backed-up but based on subjective personal preferences, and no facts 
see the discussion from post 163 in the HM quads thread

DO you think this one better than RDsport?
Check my friend, not at all! I never said do not buy the RD setup, if some is happy with that and ready to spend that on an exhausts only for me fine
That one is not the HAMANN but the system is similar.No, all I said mates, that it is not true that the RD is the ONLY one on the market which is TRUE quads.
RD is nice I know the company very well for a long time, they started in EU and went down and now moved to US and popular there, hell I know the story and all behind.
All I said is to be fair and do not try to say that HAMANN is faking they never did and never will do, why should they???
That is all I said, and also commented your exhausts as 
Please also see the quads here
but this is why I hate to post any vids, as that tells you nothing!!! YOu gotta hear the difference in person, however not easy to get an RD and HM true quads next to eachother, unfortunatelly.
So all in short I do not think one is better or louder or any preference, but HAMANN is not $$$$$ not even the full setup for M5/6 cars that gives w a remap an extra 60 HP eg.
But I will never say this is better or that is better, that would be SUBJECTIVE and I prefer you and I and all buys what they like and wanna have
I want of course no fight and does not mind some nice, and wise discussion or arguments!
I replied only for the short comments with " :thumbsdown: " for me ok, but do NOT take it as a wise, backed -up judgement.
OTW I wish you many 1000s kms with that beast and I think 550i is one of the best out, so def, needs some nice sound

Like I said in other thread,
Hamann configuration:
For V8 and I6:
ONE PIPE for input to the system and 4 PIPES outputs
RDS configuration:
TWO PIPES for inputs to the system and 4 PIPES for outputs
Let's calculate volume of the exhaust flow from the engine to the exhaust output. Haman has one pipe and RDSport has two pipes
I don't know which one performs best, but I'm just talking about true quad exhaust. Maybe, Hamann performs better than RDSport, who knows.

Please, lets take all the spamming to the classified section. Discussion here only, and that is no BS.
Let our forum members decide what they want for their cars and not insult their intelligence. Peace!

but believe me pix tell nothing you have to see how the pipes connect and where and where they go and not
to guess...
This is fine for me, and honestly many satisfied customers who NEVER buys fake!!!! are satisfied with the system.
The RD has only one HUGE disadvantage:
P R I C E
you know how many PMs emails I got that wow this HM costs a lot calculate that from let's say 10-13k you buy 5 Hm systems
and people still say that it cost a lot for exhausts,So when mates are saying that price of 2000 bucks is a lot for a nice exhausts or over 6k for a nice rim, and many buy replicase of course that only few has and can afford the RD, I say unfortunatelly, this is the truth mate

Even RD is no real quad exhaust, since it only has TWO pipes coming from the engine... 
M5 is not real quad exhaust too! It's just has TWO pipes coming from the engine...
