Hi Australian X5 lovers...

Don't want to hijack this thraed but reading through seems that many people add new topics to bounce of other Aussies. Anyway thought I would give it a shot...

After reading through the forum I got very interested in the x pipe mod (resonator delete). I purchased a magnaflow x pipe from the US and shipped it over. My courage has now left me and I am in 2 minds as to whether to put it on. I am not a boy racer (I am 34) and simply wanted a bit deeper sound and marginal performance increase as others have suggested they have achieved with an x pipe install. Now I love my X5 and I am scared about doing the install in case I do not like the sound. As such I have 2 questions:

1) Has anybody on this forum in Australia done it?
2) If so, are you in Sydney - would love to hear in person if possible if anybody open to that
3) Again if so, how much did it cost to install? I have had a quote of approx $270. Guys on the general forum have had it done in the US for $80USD so my quote seems way off.

Thanks!!
