Do what you want it's your car I see it as a shrewd move a bit more noise for a lot less money(Eisenmann system £1995.00) than buying an exhaust system, the money saved can go in the tank so you can go & make noise down your favourite bit of road & with the extra £1800 yo could add a Re Map put some poly bushes on it K&N Element filters & have one very fast M5 that lot should net you around an extra 45bhp 30ft/lb torque with a great induction roar to back up the exhaust mod.
True, true, each to their own as i see it. Took her for a spin last night, each time I drive it now, I find I have the rear windows cracked down just a little to hear the V10 at it's best! 
Sorry to bump an old thread, but have recently acquired an E60 M5 and the exhaust needs to be a bit more vocal.
What is the volume difference between 2 and 4 pipe mod?
Also does putting the packing material back in what helps reduce drone as it seems to me those who do the 2 pipe mod but dont put packing back in get drone and those who put packing material in are drone free.
People with 2 and 4 pipe mods still happy, I want more noise but I don't want it droning and booming in the cabin and I also do not wish to spend 2k for a catback when £200 will get me 90% of the same result.

To be honest, they all drone. Just depends on your tolerance.
The 2 pipe mod is a cheap and effective solution for increasing the noise level but it sounds a bit flat at lower revs and loses the growl of the stock exhaust at ~3k rpm. Sounds great at full chat though.
I have a H&S on mine at the moment and it does a good job of replicating the character of the stock exhaust with a few more dBs but it does increase the NVH in the cabin under normal driving.
