Exhaust upgrade for 550i

Barry9020 · 07-20-2016, 02:27 PM

Trying to upgrade my 550i exhaust. Just looking for a axle back not full catback. Im debating between getting m5 mufflers or RPI mufflers. People have a lot of good things to say about RPI mufflers so im in between those 2 choices. Any advice on what i should choose? Or any other perticular mufflers that you guys would recommend? My limit is 1200$

Megan M5's are pretty good for the price ($500+). Just make sure you have a M5 diffuser because the OE 550 ones won't work, openings too small.

I haven't bought any, but doing the research, I fell in love with Shteigen, for price and (presumably) quality.. and amazing sound. Look em up.

I have to say, I literally tried different mufflers on the car and the Dinan Cat Back were the only ones I felt kept the "German" sound of the car. I have heard many people liking the M5 mufflers as well. What I like about Dinan is they are a bit loud when car is first started, once it warms up, there is just a wonderful GROWL to them. So Drone at highway speeds becomes negligible. But, when you get on it, they Roar. Keep in mind that the 550 model has a vacuum flap on the 2 of the 4 exhaust pipes which opens and shuts to lesson/loud-en the car. Not all mufflers come with this attachment and i think it is a must for the muffler.
