Let's not forget Darren's beast is not your "ordinary everyday stroker." He also has high flow primary cats, which my installer says add 40+ crank horsepower to an ordinary E60 M5 and by his estimates 50+ crank HP to the stroker motor. I really look forward to some dyno results and more races. Please keep them coming--I am already Jonesing for more!

What kind of difference have you felt after changing out your primary cats and also have you noticed a sound difference?
I think Darren did all of this at the same time he had the stroker installed.
Personally, I noticed a slight sound increase with the primary cats and significant sound increase without the secondary cats. Car definitely jumps off the line faster, as shown by consistently faster 0-10 and 0-20 MPH times on my Performance Box. Feels faster up top as well. Just trying to find a time to safely get a 0-60 time, and I am waiting for it to cool down a bit on a day when the humidity isn't so high. At the moment, I am just concerned about finding gas. Perhaps we can do a group buy and have some overnight shipped to us.

I did the stroker and full exhaust all at the same time so I cannot give you a before and after comparison.
I'll reserve speculating on power figures until I get a dyno performed. Hopefully this week.
I think the sound is absolutely perfect (level, tone, pitch, etc.). It's quieter than my Evosport headers paired with race cats. Also, there is virtually no drone and the pitch is higher so it's much more F1-ish.
