Why?

Stock is super high quality stainless steel with lovely understated V8 noise

Beautifully crafted and quiet

Why spend money to change something that works so well?

Suggest you have a listen to some of the exhaust setups on utube to gauge possible sounds from different international suppliers of exhausts.

If you have time to make a decision, suggest searching on some of the US e39 sites, the US equilivent of this forum, and check out the classified listings there. I have just shipped a near new one from the US to NZ and the freight was very reasonable. The total cost was 1/3 of what it would cost in NZ. Only issue is that it takes a month to ship here.

A friend of mine owns the pitstop on K-Rd. He is a great guy with good prices. Will give you many options. And hates sh*t exhausts and will tell you if it is.

Did re recently come into ownership? I once got quoted a HUGE amount just to cut an weld small pipe into my e30 exhaust on the account of it "Being a BMW exhaust" and that "their different to ""normal"" cars" end quotations.

Just curious.

Awesome, thanx.

I'll look them up. Any idea which particular Remus model would best suit?

I bought an Eisenmann Meisterschaft TOURING with Carbon Fiber Tips. There are 3 different exhausts made by them for the e60 M5, each with a different "loudness" profile. Sport is quiet, Touring is is Medium - 95 dB and the Racing is loud - over 100 db. NZ limit is 95 dB so do some research before commiting, in case you have options in the exhaust for the e39.

I bought mine from the m5board.com. Suggest you do a google for the e39. Maybe a Wanted To Buy (WTB) post in ...

It is easier for transportation to find a seller based in California (Cal or SoCal) if you want to use the shipping company I use
