GD, I've been wondering about cans for our trucks but worried it would sound shitty. So the long cans look to work without drone in your experience? |
Funny that you posted this. I bought this X5 in January of 2012. X53jay4.8is is correct. The sound clip doesn't do it any justice. I sounded much better in person. It sounded amazing and complimented the headers I installed in August of 2013. I was very happy with that set-up. I had some YouTube clips posted, but I need to repost the clips as they were deleted. My YouTube account was based off my old work email.
Exhaust is tough. Everyone has a certain taste or desired outcome. I replicated that same setup with my current x5, but used Aero Ar25's which are used by the e46 m3 guys often because they kill rasp. I will repost the clips when I get on my computer a setup a new You Tube user.
Short answer. The long magnaflow cans sounded great with and without headers. I don't remember much drone at all with that setup and would be a safe recommendation. It had a nice growl. Paired with headers it sounded exotic. I find that video clips often don't capture or represent well the BMW I6. They tend to pick up and emphasize a particular tone. Maybe you guys have noticed this as well.
