Im gonna start with comestics first so M5 diffuser and Cyba tips looks like the first thing im going to do. Its still under warranty so I dont want to do anything that will void my warranty. I was thinking M5 exhaust/catback? I dont know too much about exhausts but I want to give it a nice sound.

Any suggestions that wouldnt void my warranty?

I too still have a warranty on my car so I havn't been completly crazy with my car. I had M5 mufflers but it just wasn't loud enough for me so I went and got a muffler delete and love it! Also I didn't feel like paying ~$2k for a brand name exhaust.

Yes I removed the M5 mufflers. The shop just welded a pipe where the muffler would be and installed the tips I bought.

I feel lucky everytime I see or read something like this as it cost me less than half of what it would cost me brand new for my Meisterschaft

Your car sounds nice man. Thanks for the videos. I think for now I'm just gonna do the muffler delete. Hopefully it doesn't affect my warranty. I still have a couple months of factory warranty left and then the 1 yr/unlimited CPO kicks in.

Congrats on the new car..

There's a few guys that have done the comp package exhaust on the 550 x drive...i picked mine up (uncut) on the forums for 1200 and it cost me another 500 or so to install (my shop cut the existing exhaust in 1/2 and welded clamps etc so that i if ever wanted to replace the resonators(or upgrade the back half of the exhaust it would be easier)


I have a 2014 550i and did the m5 comp package exhaust (kept the oem resonators) but went m5 comp package straight back from the resonators, then i put on the m5 oem diffuser and cyba tips...wanted to keep it oem looking

best part is there is no droning, and its not annoying when the wife drives the car or when the family is in the car...also have the EXHAUST MEISTER which allows me to manually open and close the exhaust valves....

Your car looks amazing bro. Thanks for the info.
Coincidentally I actually picked up an OEM M5 diffuser (gloss black) and Cyba Tips over the weekend, gonna throw them on next week and then probably do a muffler delete until I can afford the Performance exhaust.

Thanks man!

so the m5 exhaust tips sit slightly differently than the 550i tips..

check this pic you can see where the OEM diffuser was cut for the m5 exhaust to fit with stock diffuser, also you have to change the bumper adapter to add the diffuser check this thread
