I've been looking for a while now and have never seen one. If anyone knows where I can find one could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i, Billy Boat w/ y-resonator removed.
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Based on the videos I'd say that the Dinan is quiter than the Billy Boat (normal install to normal install - by that I mean not removing any of the resonators). The Billy Boat is deeper and has a little more rumble at idle. Revving sounds fairly close, although again it would seem the Billy Boat is just a tad more aggressive. Above 1600 rpm the Billy Boat sound dissapears so you don't hear it during highway driving.
Of course, removing the y-resonator along with the muffler install makes a huge difference in terms of sound - too loud for some I would presume. That approach makes the Billy Boat pretty loud outside the car when on full throttle / revving. And, you can hear it, not bad though - just a little, at highway speeds when the resonator is removed. If you have the radio on or are holding a conversation (or for that matter have the fan on a little high) you wouldn't hear it.
Good video references above for the Dinan. I was considering a Dinan before I went for a Billy Boat, but couldn't find any good videos at the time.

I assume this is you in the video with the 535? You mentioned that your car had 390HP (427 ft/lbs torque)....
.....what did you do to it to get that? I don't know much about those engines but I didn't know you could get those #s out of a 3.5?
