4" downpipe is more than most people will ever need anyway.....as is the 5" exhaust.

When you get the DP make sure you get the 140 Extreme and roll smoke on his $47K beemer. Then ask him if his does tricks....

$47K is actually very cheap for a new, nice beemer. When i was in the position to buy a vehicle, it was either a 6 speed 540i or a truck. Glad i got a truck.

When I went to my 4" I considered the 5", but with the 4" down pipe you truly really only have a 4" exhaust system anyway. If the 5" really sounds different I have never been able to hear the difference. But I do admit to being at least half deaf anyway.

Thanks.
