Best Exhaust for F10 M5 (Stock downpipes)

Hello, I'm researching exhaust systems or modifications to help produce a deeper tone to my 15' BMW M5. I'm not interested in installing catless downpipes due to where I live (California). If you have clips or videos, Id love to hear them cheaper options would be better but still would want to hear everything and anything you have done to your M5! Thank you

Muffler delete (or resonators as well if you have the budget) is the best bang for bucks and get some cheap exhaust tips from AliExpress as these cars are just too quiet without aftermarket downpipes honestly

The standard round chrome pipe ends are frankly a joke.

To me, I'm not wanting the car to be too loud but just a deeper tone. I personally think the stock exhaust muffles it too much. I heard that it doesn't have any resonators, but I could be wrong.

I agree, they're a little too small for the size of the car.

I agree with you it sucks that the stock mufflers on our cars barely produce any sound even with valves open I always see M5 with Turner Motorsport exhaust with original downpipes they sound great I’ve heard in person and not too loud but it’s basically the same thing as muffler delete just a bit more expensive also there are two small resonators before the x-pipe but the difference between having them and not having them is almost nothing but if you only have resonators in the exhaust system i.e decat and muffler delete it will sound bad I personally think

I think my catless/muffler delete sounds badass.
