528XI Straight piped

I straight piped my 528xi for basically two reasons: for my own personal curiosity, and simply for those 528 owners on this forums! I know it's not the best sounding vehicle in the world and according to some people it sounds like a "fart box," but I ask you to please be generous! If you don't like the sound I understand, but no need to post any negative comments. Thanks and I hope you like the quick video!

Ah Nice! I was cringing before the video started because you really made it sound like it was bad and was learning to accept it for what it was but is sound like it has BALLS! a little bit of snap, crackle and pop!

All that matters is do you like it. Your MPG will go down.

I think it sounds amazing. I may be biased though because I have a 528 xdrive as well lol. I want to get this done to my car now. How much did this run you? I need to know what's a fair price for when I start to call around the shops nearby

Arko528, with your downpipes do you smell gas in your car?
