That will absolutely give you the best sound, especially from the V-8. It will also attract the most attention, especially from law enforcement. It will also encourage you to bury your right foot every chance you get. I had it for a while with my E39 and enjoyed it until I realized that I was really headed for trouble and had it changed.

I think that just removing the resonators you will have a future problem with the OEM exhaust (end section) since you will run "more open" flow . The OEM exhaust has a setup to work with the resonators.

Based on my limited knowledge with exhaust modifications in relation to BMWs and V8s (though I did work at an import mod shop in my teen years that saw its fair share of Supras, RX-7s, and NSXs) I would assume that the removal of the exhaust and installation of a straight pipe from the header back would increase top-end horsepower at the costly expense of back-pressure (i.e. low-end torque.)
In general this = good for Autobahn-ing, not so much for stoplight respect checks.
