fwiw, if you can find the 4.8is mufflers in a junk yard, it is the best money I have spent on my manual 3.0, smoothed the entire band and a nice quiet rumble, no blat whatsoever from a redline-drop-to-idle. 3.0 certainly -seems- to breathe better, and I was expecting no difference at all. The wife noticed it as well, asking if I had found better gasoline, lol. NOT hp, just smoother.
The exhaust that shoulda' coulda' been standard across the X5 line, IMHO - yes I appreciate my luck finding them here. To my knowledge and personal experience, no to sound, the beautiful tips are just that, eye candy, but I have not heard it without the tips. I have heard a 3.0 -with- pretty tips, no difference in sound, but its cat-back is hobbled in my opinion.
