"Better" is subjective for starters, but the pricing on mufflers for the 550i is ridiculous. The Eisenmann setups cost $2500 + shipping, the Active Autowerks, $2200, ect ect. Full Exhausts for a 535i from the downpipe back can be had for $2000.
For a muffler only setup, the M5 oems are louder, deeper, and cheaper. They can be found for $500-800 depending on who is selling them. Plus they have the factory flap to ensure no drone and for those who want more sound, they can unplug them.
I am going to remove the center muffler that is not present on the M5, thus making this exhaust setup basically identical minus the 0.25" smaller piping diameter and slightly more restrictive downpipes. Should be perfect, and all for less than $1000.
