m5 comp exhaust vs Remus catback

I currently have the full m5 comp exhaust on my m550i and I think it sounds good. I thought I could maybe get more sound by replacing the one resonator with an x-pipe. Maybe the cabin is just too insulated to hear good from inside and it's actually better than I think?

I could attempt the x-pipe and then if not happy get the axle back Remus since I'd already be resonator-less like the full Remus catback at that time.

or should I not bother and just go full catback Remus? Will it sound any better than just doing resonator delete with x-pipe on the m5 exhaust?

X pipe is not as loud as straight pipes which is what Remus catback has. Straights sound better than xpipe for this car imo

the upper diffuser I bought is oem that I had painted body color. The lower middle diffuser is m performance replica with a carbon finish. I did not want real carbon as I would lose the foot kick function as real carbon blocks that signal.

Thanks for the info. I wondered if you needed to replace bumper or if the F90 diffuser worked on G30.

yeah, just the diffuser can be replaced to fit m5 exhaust. The m5 tips sit slightly more to the middle so diffuser needs to be m5 oem or made to fit m5 in order to fit m5 tips.
