My Ride: 2010 535i, Sports Package, Nav, Prem Sound
Note: this is coming from an aftermarket exhaust first timer!
I wanted to know how much of a difference the RPi exhaust and air scoop make on the performance of the 2006+ 530i. And what about the sound level? Is is quiet at lower RPMs (during freeway cruise for example) and louder at higher RPMs (4000+)? I do not want exhaust drone at cruise.
I know that a few people with 530i's have gotten this done so I would like to hear from them.
Also, are there different models/types of exhaust for the 530i or just one?
Is there a black friday special for the 530i exhaust?

Exhaust shouldn't drone but it is louder, but aggressive loud. 
You'll be look at around 8-10 hp increase. I can definitely help you out in ordering the exhaust. I'll shoot you a PM.
