The 4.8is muffler is quite different if you look at realoem diagram. Also different parts #. The tips might look the same from rear view.
I guess the value shoud be somewhere between $300 and $400.
I also talked to my indy. They said it's a max 1 hour job. Measure and cut the pipe and swap them. Use 55mm clamps (one pair, $30 each they quote me) to secure them. This would leave a chance for future's change, say for a pair of Dinan's. I think that makes sense. So the total would be around $500 if I am luck to get them at $350.
Again, thanks everybody.

I know they're different exterior wise, I was more curious as to inside. When Britalman was still selling E39 M5 exhaust, they cut open stock and every other style of muffler available for that car to show how much more batting and insulation they used in of it. I just wasn't sure if anyone might of known of some similar pics floating around for the X5 mufflers. Other that stealership price differences, it seems no one knows the difference internally, so how does one decide which is the best?
