Good choice! Post pics and sound clips when you get the exhaust installed!

You bet man... I can't wait to get the hp back that I lost to my magnaflow muffler plus the extra that I will gain! I'm very impressed how RPI is not just out to make a buck but to actually sell a product that does what it's supposed to do

Your car was the test car right? Man, in that take-off clip on youtube your car sounded so mean and definitely looked as though it was faster than mine! Thanks for the reassurance on the purchase man!

No problem...You will tell a difference right away....The exhuast is pretty quiet at idol...It really comes to life at higher rpms....Sounds really good with the back pressure....You will feel the added torque for sure...Anyone that has a 545i should buy this....Best exhaust out right now....Time to bring back the single side exhuast... The best thing is, it will probably spank a 550i...

I don't think they will do a quad setup....They are more about the performance rather than the look....You should definately get on the list....Your saving $100 by doing it....Well worth it...Easy to install as well...You could even install this system yourself, with some basic hand tools....Any muffler shop shouldn't charge more than half an hour if you wanted somebody to do it for you....

I heard it's simply bolt-on... is this true or is any welding required? Also, my old MagnaFlow 14862 that "takes away" hp will be up for grabs soon! haha

I watched Eloy take the exhaust on and off for testing...It is a simple bolt on exhaust...If a shop tells you that welding is required, they either are trying to get more money out of you or don't know what they are doing...You simply cut off your exhaust and then bolt on the RPi exhaust....RPi gives you a clamp to clamp the exhisting exhaust to the new muffler and it uses the stock hangers to attach too...
