Web developer eh? Small world but I saw your comments spring up on Jalopnik about that 'can we just be nice' go-karting blog
Yeah, I see a lot of people chopping their X5 resonators out and replacing them with X-pipes. This is weird to me because in the E38/E39 world, chopping out the resonator means awful drone and loss of torque. Everybody in the E38/E39 world just does a muffler delete, so I thought about doing that on the X5 since the exhaust system isn't too different. I want a low grumble that's loud enough to bother people, but not so loud that I can't comfortably daily drive with it. I'm not really looking for subtle, I'm 24 and I want to be a little obnoxious while I can still get away with it

And yeah I'm a web developer as my day job. I'm all over the comments section at Jalopnik, that's like my second home. Pros and cons of using my real name as my username everywhere I guess, haha.
