No offense, but I don't think you're going to make a whole lot of noise with a 3.0

My Remus exhaust and resonator delete(straight pipes) sounds pretty clean on my 3.0. Has a nice rumble @ idle. Top end, it does get kinda raspy, almost like an E36 M3 with an exhaust kind of raspy. I like it though.

do you think that muffler setup on ebay will work on a 4.8is e53. I dont see the difference.

hmm, well do u guys think it would be worth it for me to go with the eisenmann racing exhaust for $1750, a little expensive, but then again, its goin on a bimmer. they rate it a 8.8 out of 10 for loudness.

The Dinan exhaust requires you to cut your existing pipes and weld them to the Dinan mufflers.

All 3.0 / 4.4 / 4.6 can utilize the same exhaust systems.
