E60inNova - The install is really easy to do yourself, all you need is some jackstands or ramps and a reciproacting saw. But DON"T cut where RPI's instructions say to cut on their forums.

And actually, they just updated their instructions after I emailed them and bitched about it.

But either way, just make sure to measure first. I cut about 6 inches closer to the rear than they showed in the picture.

Thank you Mestes- normally I would think about attacking, but work is busy enough that I will fork over the $125 to get someone smarter than me to take it on!
I will pass all the tip along to my mechanic buddy- thank you!

Got the RPI on mine,
It does drone a little at 1-2k rpm, If you have auto tranny, run it in DS mode, much more fun to drive and much less droning

A little at lower RPMs, but not much. And none whatsoever at highway speeds. In fact while crusing at highway speeds, it doesn't sound any different that stock, which is perfect.
