Get the x-pipe. It is easy to reverse if you do not like it or you want to upgrade to a Tubi exhaust which is whjat I did. I had the x-pipe for almost two years with the OEM exhaust. The resonators alone weight about thirty pounds so there is some weight savings and you will notice a difference in the way the car accelerates.

It will increase the the exhaust note and make it deeper. You will notice it, but just barely. You do pick up a great burble on deacceleration. Over time, at least a year, it will grow deeper and louder, but the sound is very nice and it never intrudes into the cabin.

This is one of the best and least expensive mods for the M5 and it is completely reversable.
