Alpina B5 Muffler Sound

spielnicht · 06-12-2017, 07:24 AM

I ran into this video on Youtube and fell in love with the exhaust tone of the B5. This is exactly the sound I'd like on my 550i. Being that it's the same engine and turbo orientation, what aftermarket mufflers may come close to this tone?

I would try to find underside shots of the full exhaust system and replicate it from there. I will say that M5 mufflers sound damn good on a 550i and the valves are functional as well.

Have you looked at the Dinan mufflers? Only ones I recall that have a depth to them like that.
Would be interesting to see what the Alpina ones look like though. Nothing came up on google search
