Though I feel like a muffler delete might make it sound too much like a redneck Chevy truck which might be just a bit too much, even for my tastes.

Trust me on this start with the Magnaflow X-pipe/Magnaflow Resonated X-pipe and take it from there. Sound clips do it no justice. I tell you this because I listened to every Dinan X5 exhaust clip and E39 M5 Dinan Exhaust clips and none of them sounded anything like what I actually have installed on the vehicles. If you are not happy with the X-pipe modification then you can go from there. I'm telling you baby steps on this mode is the best way to achieve your goal unless you have already heard the modification on someone else's X5.

Yeah, a Magnaflow X-pipe might be the best place to start, since it seems to have worked out quite well for a lot of X5 owners.

You're completely right about videos not doing the exhaust sounds justice. My Dinan M5 exhaust sounded pretty mediocre on camera because the camera couldn't quite capture the chest-invading rumble the mufflers made. It was odd, really. You could feel the exhaust vibrate through you if you were standing near the mufflers.
