Hello,fellas

I have '07 530xi sedan and looking for a good and affordable muffler. Any recommendation? I don't wanna spend a fortune on it though.
I've had '04 Infiniti G35 coupe and it had a best stock muffler which had a deep base howl at low to medium RPM and quiets down at cruising.
I'm looking for similar to that kind. Any thought? BTW price range is less than $800.

Cherry Bomb glasspacks.

Cost about $30 each.

Magnaflow is another muffler that is cheap. But if you want proven gain, go with RPI.

Remus is also somewhat close to your price point. They make nice stuff.

RPI will sound good. I too have a 530i and it still sounds pretty good with the V6 engine. You won't be disappointed.

A buddy of mine has the RPI and it sounds really throaty. The craftsmanship is great.
