Sounds sick as fuu. Ill be taking the mufflers from my brothers beast as soon as it comes in. Was it hard to get the valves to work with the Akra tips? How much customization was needed? Thanks

The biggest issue with the stock 550 mufflers is that they are much bigger and there is no wiggle room which makes it impossible to move the cans toward the front of the car to give you room to put different tips on. With the M5 mufflers, moving the cans forward to fit the tips without cutting the valves off is pretty easy. |

I have a 550i so it sounds like if I want to just replace my mufflers with those from a m5 it's feasible? Is it a direct retrofit from axle back?
Thanks for sharing the pics and the sound clips. |

That's very very nice looking. My 550i is at the shop now getting an F10 rear diffuser and an Eissenman Race installed. Here's to hoping it isn't as painful a job as yours seems to have been. But it sounds like a good experienced body/exhaust shop can make easy work of it from your post. Any tips or words of comfort? LOL

Was going with the M5 rear diffuser but ran into major problems as the Eissenman exhaust cans are huge and don't leave enough room to retrofit into the f10 M5 rear valance with room for the tips to align. So I got the exhaust fitted but had to go back to my stock M-sport rear valence. Sound and function over looks...I guess I'll get a Vorsteiner or other rear valence later one then.
