After spending hours and hours on YouTube trying to find the right exhaust for my X5 without spending $2500 on EISENMANN muffler, I finally found true happiness.
All I did was a mufflers delete. Stock cats and stock resonator are still on. I decided to not do the X pipe due to people having some torque losses. I had a local mechanic custom made two Y pipe on both side instead of the mufflers with 2.5” stainless steal tips. I can finally here the V8 now. I have been driving with those since two months without any issues, and I hope it will stay that way.
I am just sharing my exhaust here for those like me who have spend so many hours trying to find a nice exhaust system for cheap.
By the way it’s 2002 4.4i with 127000 miles on the clock.
