to 5Series.net and to the joy of 550 ownership.

If you are looking for more power and a more aggressive exhaust note, get the RPI exhaust for the 550. It's outstanding.

I have driven a 550i Sport with the RPI exhaust and it absolutely transforms the sound of the car. The sound is really aggressive and bad ass. And the dyno results of the 550 with the RPI exhaust show nice gains in power.
