u can do it at fong kim or man's plc. won't be much on labour charges.

acs exhaust generally gives a low bassy sound. can try operating the box by removing more of the cotton wrap but for sure you'll not get the kinda attention-seeking roar from acs.

removing the resinator will assists in better flow but will lose slightly on low end. de-cat which is illegal, will naturally sounds louder but it really depends on the brand of exhaust one is using.

having said that, insulation for our 5ser is extremely good, so don't expect to much of a growl while you're in the car.

so much abt how loud the pipes will sound, you will gain on high end with a straight thru exhaust.

you may check out totoseow's system during the meetup. you can here him from ford rd...
