well, you'd have trouble finding an RPI quad set-up as they do not produce a quad set-up...
Magnaflow quads have been reported to actually lose HP's
Have you considered Remus?

+1 with Gene. RPI quads do not exist unless you have a v10 under the hood or If you have a 135i.

true, but you made that yourself, that's not an actual RPI product. IMO, be careful how you state what you have as you might be misrepresenting that company and it's products....there's a good reason why RPI themselves have chosen not to make a quad set-up for non M e60's.....

+1 with Gene. RPI does not produce a quad for non m e60s for a reason. I would defintely be cautious of making claims regarding a very reputable company

^putting together a "custom", self-commissioned set-up and perhaps calling it/referring to it as an original product is deceitful...mind as well put M5 badges on your e60 then 
what happens if he does a dyno, his set-up shows a performance loss...just from the info he put it you would think RPI is producing a bad product, when in fact RPI has stated that quads are not produced for this very reason, power loss...he can indirectly effect a companies sales/business.....agree or no?
it's monsterj's $ and he can do with it as he likes, more power to him for having the balls to do this set-up, but "call a spade a spade"...that's all I'm saying...show some honesty and integrity...

+1 w/Gene again. RPI has stated on countless occasions that quad exhausts on a non m e60 will result in a loss of power. RPI has never produced a quad for the standard e60s. therefore monster should not represents his custom exhaust as an actual 'rpi quad'. if i were monster i make it a point to mention that his setup was a custom rpi quad.
