I thought it was a trick question to see who was paying attention  |
Supersprint has catless downpipes for the X5 50i, AR designs is supposedly working on a prototype, and there are a few more prototypes out in the wild. I am trying to weigh the benefit of adding them. There is not enough real info out there to decide. The majority of people do down pipes and full exhaust. This is my family vehicle, so I want it to be quiet.
Maybe I need to accept that 500hp after the Dinan Stage2 tune this weekend is enough for the grocery getter.
