cut off your exhaust and run straight pipes to your tips, best "growl" you can get for minor $.

Dammerung on the board has done this on his 740iL and added M5 tips on the end, and I must say, I love the sound when he starts his car

Connect the throttle cable to your dog's tail?
That should cause a good growl.

I have a magnaflow on mine... These vids were taken when the exhaust was only a month old. I've had it on for over a couple years now and the tone has changed. I love the sound, super deep tone.
