Hi All,

I just picked up a CPO low miles 06 M5 Silver/Grey, really love the car - always wanted one. It has the SMG tranny, I was wondering I hear of RPI exhaust - would I need to tune the car if I purchase the set with cats? Also anyone heard of OneAndOnly exhaust? I look forward to chatting....

Welcome to the forum - you've found the right place to learn how to get the most joy (and spend the most money ) from your M5

to 5series.net and congrats on the beast. Please post some pics of the beast. Where did you get it from?

A number of members have the RPI full race exhaust and also have tunes. The sound is unbelievable. I am sure that the many members with this setup, such as C's Bimmer here in the NY area, dbae in So Cal, eurocarfan in the Bay Area and providenceleaf in Rhode Island can answer your question.

Here is a link to a thread where member providenceleaf drives his M5 with full RPI race exhaust through a tunnel in Boston: https://5series.net/forums/topic/979...&#entry1163833

If that sound alone doesn't sell you on the full RPI race exhaust, nothing will.

Thanks all this is the place to be!!, I purchased the car at Ralley BMW in New York with less than 25k miles. Plan on adding cold air kit and full exhaust and looks like RPi is the way to go. Ill post some pics late in the week..

Congrats on the beast!

BTW, C and Mark, you both need to get the RPI headers, and Stage 2 and SMG tunes.
