Question on M5 style rear bumper
What mufflers are you guys using when converting the 535I rear bumper over to the M5 style bumper?

Good question I'd like to know to for my 550i. Bc I see some exhaust tips that don't look big enough and that makes the car look crazy.

You'll be limited too a few options because of the battery location in the rear of the passenger side. Otherwise, people would install an M5 exhaust already. I haven't seen any true off the shelf system for this conversion.
1. Custom set up - find a good exhaust shop - do a search for quad install, myself and others have a thread up.
2. Umnitza quad muffler - (click here)
3. ebay quad set up, I think this might be similar to what Umnitza is selling (click here)
4. Muffler delete then out too some tips - least expensive and easiest route
The looks is easy to accomplish, it'll be the sound of the exhaust that's going to be challenge.

There's a few youtube video of this exhaust but on a 525, so the exhaust tone will vary depending on what model E60 you're installing it on.
Sounds too tame for me, if I was going to drop 1k+ I'll expect my car to roar a bit more.
