Exhaust for 550i M Sport

Waddup fellas. Ok, so I've been indecisive about an exhaust for a minute. First, I wanted Meisterschaft with the "X-Pipe". Then, I wanted the Vorsteiner set-up. But realized that they only offer it for 535i's. After the Vorsteiner, I liked the Eisenmann exhaust. Yesterday I was told that Vorsteiner now makes their set-up for my 550i. I'm going for a classy, but an F10 with some balls approach HELP!!!! Any suggestions would be much appreciated for this indecisive mofo...

So the Vorsteiner "F10 5 Series Sport Exhaust" Cat-Back System here is for the 535i only?

http://www.vorsteiner.com/bmw/5serie...rt-exhaust.php

This Eisenmann 550i system is pretty sweet:

However, if Vorsteiner's 550i system looks like there 535i one, it would be my pick as it's damn good looking for sure, especialy with their diffuser.

This AKRAPOVIČ Evolution exhaust system for BMW F10 M5 is pretty awesome if it can fit the 550i using the M5 Diffuser:

Sup jay,

Any of those you mentioned are all good. Cant go wrong with either vorsteiner or meisterschaft.

Akrapovic would be optimum but very pricey, even more so than the vorsteiner or meisterschaft.

Dont you have a vorsteiner diffuser? Then ill go with that exhaust. Para di balbon diba?

Cheers!

Hey guys, thanks for the reply to my thread. Yup, I already have the Vorsteiner Diffusor. But I'm still torn between the three exhausts. Vorsteiner just released the 550i version, so the site probably isn't updated.

^If it's a cat-back it is well worth it. Otherwise I'll go with SuperSprint.

Let us know if you have any questions about the Meisterschaft system Our 550i GTC unit seems to be pretty popular.

Ever think about having someone fab an exhaust system? I'm suprised at the cost for the exhausts that are available. I'm thinking about doing it myself. Only part I'm unsure of is the downpipe's. I put my car on a rack today to get an idea and see what I'm working with. I may buy the AR downpipe's and fab the rest out of 3" mandrel bent stainless to a single in dual out muffler. I think you could fab a full system for the same price or less. Just my opinion.

There is at least one 550 here that fabbed his own. Another 3" SS custom made link here. http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=621314

Agree market prices are high and most are mufflers only, not even cat back or full exhaust. The hardest part of a true custom build may be finding the best sounding free flowing compact case muffler.

After my "Exhaustive" research I just ordered the Meisterschaft GTC and hopefully will be installing end of this week!! In my opinion it is much better than other top brands available for our cars!!
