My Ride: 2006 BMW M5
The muffler components were Magnaflow. Here is a list of all the products that were used on my vehicle along with their price in USD (which I imagine will vary depending on where you decide to make your purchase).
Anyway, I am thinking to setup a similar custom exhaust for my M5. I rather to make a custom exhaust than buying. I like the parts you mentioned in the list but with 3" pipes because the OEM exhaust (M5) has that size. So do you think it is worthy?

Very interesting. I didn't read your thread until now.... Amazing results and it probes no losing power like many members said. I love DIYs (many old senior members may know me well... yeah I got flamed and cheered. lol!) and I had many DIYs from my old 545i and I posted few on this forum.

following west's know how and instruction, i ended up going with the same set up. i really really do like it. initially it had a pretty annoying drone around 1.5K-2K when slowly accelerating and slightly pulling the engine. one of those cabin filling drones, i posted about it but didn't get any responses in making it quieter. it's been a good month or so i think it's broken in as it's lessened and very much less noticeable. what i like about it is that i can almost control how loud i want it, if i'm slowly accelerating, i can almost not hear it, unless it's under a lot of load, but if i open it up, definitely can hear it. no drone, if not very slight, on the highway at cruising speeds which is also cool. i do remember my stock having the slightest bit of drone on the highway which this is similiar to. no feeling of power loss, actually feels a bit more responsive and opens up faster, but that could all be psychological....
all in all, i do like this set up....
thanks for the info west, made it a lot easier for me to decide......
