F10 550i stock tips with other exhaust

I apologize if someone already has posted such setups,

but I'm looking for examples to consider. I plan on keeping the stock tips but with a cat back/xpipe type exhaust that can bring some sound to the stock system.

Personally, I think the f10 550i is way TOO quiet for me..

I'm coming from an 2007 audi s6, and although it's not quite the same engine size (v10) I do miss a growl when stepping on the gas..

Nothing extremely loud or race-y, but something with a deeper sound...

Anyone have a setup like this they can share? Or ideas?

Thanks

One blogger I met up recently have the last gen. M6 muffler put on (will require a little bit of mod to fit to a F10) and there is little to no drone at all. It sounds good and deep.

If interested, you can pm him for more details.

Hey, thanks for the reply..

I've actually seen that FS thread around here.. and considered it.

But I want to keep the aesthetics of the car as stock as clean and stock as possible.. to keep it wife-friendly.

So, if anything I would be going for that m6 muffler if it is compatible with the stock 550i tips..
