Anyone who has installed this notice if the RPI system is heavier, lighter, same? Esp on the 530 since we have those enourmous turtle mufflers but I am betting the 550s is not overly light!

You'll probably shave off a good 20 pounds with the RPi Exhaust

Me? I had a 545i. And the car is sold now anyway... why don't you just weigh your own exhaust?

I don't know the weight difference..., but no doubt the rpi is lighter than the stock 530i exhaust. gain extra 20hp!!

RPI exhaust is for sure much lighter than stock exhaust
