Thanks for the candid responses.
in your OP you stated the exhaust gives 10hp gains...what exactly is that worth to you? Or what should a $2400 exhaust put down/do for you? Again, there are not many other 535i exhaust systems out there with such proven gains.....so I ask again as you looking for sounds? performance? both?

BTW: here's the dyno https://5series.net/forums/topic/749..._1#entry847118

At least that's better than being the corn in the shit that you pooped out.

Like I said, unlike other vendors RPI has a shop locally where you can MEET the man behind the myth (a.k.a. Eroy, a.k.a. The Bully). I am sure he'd have no problem showing you an exhaust in stock for you to examine and you can see the craftsmanship - I have, and better yet I have SEEN the results!!!! Every RPI car is bad ass!!!
