550 exhaust opinions

Jbarrer2 · 09-04-2020, 11:54 AM

Hey guys so I'm trying to debate on if the m5 Competition mufflers are worth it , I currently have the non Comp on my 550i. Just the mufflers everything else stock . Want to have a aggressive exhaust note while stepping on it with no drone . Please help !

Just me or is the left side inner exhaust tip lower than its partner?

Yup one side is more outwards than the other , supposedly went to a reputable muffler shop but he ended up braking my m5 $500 cf diffuser and still charged me $120 for the muffler job

I had same issue when I had M5 mufflers installed. You need to get the M5 brackets to get it to line up straight.

As for the more aggressive tone, you can try an x-pipe in place of the center resonator. Straight pipes will definitely make it sound more aggressive, but likely to introduce drone.
