M5 Muffler sound on a 550i

Just want to know if anyone has an sound clips or video's with there 550i mufflers only swapped for M5 F10 mufflers. I saw one video but the microphone is so low its hard to hear how loud or quiet it might be. Its a little on the loud side.
Looking for how loud it is in the Cabin, drive by and outside maybe ears level, etc.

I'm asking a lot i know! Might do it as i have access to a pair of mufflers.

I would also like to know how the mufflers are. It seems like a lot of the videos are of cars that have other small modifications (cat/resonator deletes/3in. pipes). Would be great to hear how only the mufflers installed would sound...

Thanks man! That sounds really nice, but you also have 3in. pipes+AR downpipes correct? That would be my ideal setup too but I'm wondering what would be the biggest bang for the buck vs. going for a full system.


I saw that group buy for the LSD exhaust but it's just current out of my budget.

Just delete your mufflers and car will sound amazing and cheap.

lol yea true.
I honestly would have loved to get in the LSD exhaust group buy that is going on right now for the overall power gains+sound, but definitely not in the budget right now. Still on the fence as to whether just improve the sound for now(change mufflers) or wait for a full system.

Will deleting mufflers in your experience give off a drone sound?
