Lennon, thanks for all the insight, your systems looks great. Any sound clips online....youtube or anything? Thanks again my friend!
MINIz...good tips too. I've heard the same so your comments are good confirmation.
For now my plan is to keep the resonator and not use an X-Pipe and just do the Universal Mufflers from Magnaflow. I'm not looking for too much rasp just a nice tone to the exhaust and some improved looks from the stock 3.0 tips. We have an E46 M3 that is the rasp-master and I have that "fixed" with the Rogue Engineering pipes. The rasp was great for a year or two but the RE Exhaust on the car is AWESOME. It's so good it's got me modding the exhaust on the X to get a bit of noise from her as well!!!
Thanks again guys I'm looking late-January to have the on the X5 and will report back then.
Happy New Year all!!!
