WHOOOOAAAA!
Just got the X back today and I can't get this silly grin off my face! WOW, its like I got a brand new engine! The car not only idles buttery smooth, there is no more hesitation pulling from a stop or while rolling. I swear it seems like I gained 50hp and 50ft lbs torque! Just amazing! Wow, so this is what a 4.8is really feels like. Ever since I bought the car, I felt that my 740i sport was a faster car than the 4.8is due to weight/gearing/etc. But now, OH MAN! The 4.8is is one fast SUV! I gotta take a clip of the x-pipe now! I should have done a before and after b/c you guys would be shocked at the difference in the BARK of the engine. It just sounds totally BEASTLY!

Yes they are beastly! Did you have the intermediate levers and x-pipe done at the same time?

x-pipe I did 3 weeks ago. It sounded good, but when I parked the car, I just revved it up to hear that nice sound, I was pleasantly surprised!

JT, who did your x-pipe? Mine is still sitting in the box. Did you bring it to a local guy? I need to do mine...

I used Z Performance in Corona off the 91/15 fwy. The owner is really cool. Labor was only $120 and it was a clean job. I used them previously for my dual magnaflow install on the 740i. They're cool and let you watch.

Now for some fun!

I got the intermediate levers replaced. Night and day. Had a bunch of other work done too while it was there and it is like a new car again.
