From personal experience I highly recommend Eisenmann...

All I did was remove the center resonator and replaced with a $70 X pipe. Got all the sound I needed and it sounds GOOD. Best sounding bang for the buck on any Bimmer I've done.

I should include that I've used SuperSprint on my BMW's including my 1975 2002 and my 2000 supercharged 540 with SuperSprint headers. I am pretty picky about the sound in my cars. I even removed the dual exhaust after installing it because I thought the sound was too much like a Chevy truck to my ear. The SuperSprint was just right.

540 headers:

I already removed the resonator and it improved the sound quality. The car sounds very very very good when im revving it in park - but when driving it around - i feel it could do better..

Wolf --I looked into Eisenmann and its approx: $2,500 not including installation or tax so same price as the SuperSprint. (see: BMW E53 X5 4.6iS Eisenmann Performance Exhaust-B5318.00831 ) I guess the 4.6is placement would fit on a 4.8is as I dont see Eisenmann for the 4.8is.. The thing is - are these exhaust worth it?? I mean a MAGNAFLOW system will cost me $1200 versus a Eisenmann/SuperSprint at $3000... Big difference... and I honestly cant see anything of such a big different to cost so much... So is Eisenmann/SuperSprint worth it?????
