Just guessing though.
Every X5 other than the 4.8is has the same size flange on the muffler, regardless of exhaust tubing diameter.

Fun fact: If you cut the pipes off of a late 4.4i muffler, the slide right into the tubes of a 4.8is muffler, for the easiest possible 4.8is muffler retrofit. It’s such a good fit that you could absolutely do a no weld retrofit using only clamps. (I still welded.)
