I'm looking for someone with a RPI exhaust on a 5 series in the Ventura Co. area. Preferably on a 545i. I am in Thousand Oaks, Ca and considering buying a RPI but like to hear it live first. Can anyone help?

I hear there are bi-weekly meets in Chino Hills or someplace there, you should go there. I miss living in Orange County, lived there for all my schooling till I did my Masters and moved to Virginia

.

But dude, RPI is a safe bet, everyone likes it (atleast on the V8's)I dont see y someone would buy it and regret it but anyways.

Good luck with your hunt

Give me a call, I just had mine installed on my 2004 545. I love it and I'm not a big fan of over the top sound (in these cars). With the windows up, crusing around 70-80 you can barely hear anything. When you roll off the throttle it grumbles a little. Up to 2k it is throaty, especially with the windows down and no acceleration. Above 2 the sound gets "higher" as expected with higher RPM's. It sounds like a V8...a very happy one at that. 704.560.5868 Getting ready to leave work in about 15 minutes and will be driving for a good 10-15 minutes.
