Check out my setup.

ZERO DRONE -- THE video recorder is not the best but I can say that the exhaust maintains all the backpressure required.
Not too loud like a cheapo civic with its big ass muffler but deep. I have a TON of compliments for it so far. The guy who did the welding and stuff told me he has designed many but this is the PERFECT Balance between a loud note and a pleasing note.

The picture will show you the magic behind how backpressure is maintained at all RPM's

Well I finally got some time to upload my video. Sound isn't close to what it sounds like in person when revving it but I think you'll get the idea. This is also done after a cold start, which I have noticed once warmed up, it quites down some. Lovin it!

I know the video isn't the best but with the crazy busy month its all I have for now.

i have read through the whole thread and its made no mention to diesels

i threw e60 quad in to ebay to see what was on there and to my suprise something fitted the bill.

this could not sound better

"Will fit any BMW 5 series saloon 2003 - 2010 (Including Diesels!!)
Spent months in development! Sounds absolutely amazing!"

please guys i am about to go spend my money on this but something about it all just screams out BULL SH*T! they even claim power gains!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-5-SERIES-E60-M5-STYLE-QUAD-EXHAUST-FITS-M5-BUMPER-/290508897393?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a3adfc71#ht_3380wt_1026
i called the contact he didn't seem very technical, maybe he was just the sales guy, now armed with some info from this thread and general design ethics but he said its even got twin cherry bombs i really felt disappointed then!

guys rip this exhaust apart and i will call them again with more demanding questions

That ebay listing is very vague. There are no pictures of the actual exhaust setup only those showing the tips. I would ask for more details/pictures of the setup including piping diameter, where the exhaust replaces the oem exhaust, what its been test fitted on (I doubt every model), what tubing material they are using, etc.
