I have an opinion on this issue having just replaced a lot of exhaust parts on my 86 528e. I have a new Cat, OEM muffler and a chrome tip. First, make sure you install new gaskets and copper nuts and tighten so they do not leak. Next, install the chrome tip because it does make a difference. Finally, I placed a layer of cardboard in my trunk to help muffle the sound a bit more. (these are all tips that I picked up on this board) I consider the sound to be sweet and strong, especially 3-4K RPM!!
