Post Exhaust for 91 M5

Hey Guys, I was wondering if any of you could give me some advice as to which exhaust would sound the best on my E34 M5. I am looking for the best compromise of sound and performance.

Thanks in advance.

Performance wise I've been told you can't do better than stock. As far as sound goes the nice little rumble I get from the stock system is as much as i can push it since the car is my daily driver as a Realtor. For some reasons I've lost clients when i've had to hand them a helmet before we go look at homes

Hey CronusGod,

I can let you hear mine...it's a B&B stainless steel, installed by Curry's Auto Service, recently. It's throaty and has a low pitch. But it's not quiet! Folks defenitely know I'm coming down the street. It's on my 91 M5. (which by the way is going on the block this week).

Good luck!

I'll definitely keep that in mind if I'm ever in Virginia.

"EXCELLENT, I do really love the low frequency rumble, there's nothing else like it that I hear, all my colleagues"sic" and friends know when I'm coming, no slipping in late at night after a card game

Friends of my say, " We can hear you coming a block away".

Even more fun is hearing "Is that sound normal"

With best regards,

Raymond
