don't include me in that list of disappointed people. i knew going in that i wasn't
going to see major differences, but i was not disappointed. there was a difference
in the sound created and maybe a slight performance gain. thing is, no one (inexpensive)
mod is going to give u ridiculous amounts of gain. the only true way to get those
kinds of gains is to couple a CAI, engine software, headers, fuel upgrades and
an exhaust. buying just one of those mods won't result in major amounts of
improvement, but all of them together; that's a different story.

funnyi just got of the Phone with the Guys From aFe and he told me that stage one COI from there dyno testing yields about 8-10 horse and 12-15 lbs of torque on a bone stock 4.4 X5. those number are not that unreasonable, about a 4% HP gain. That is very similar to results i have had on my previous vehicles which i have run on the dyno. Now i dont know who in world thinks they can FEEL a 4% increase just from driving, so all these people saying its a waste are crazy! those numbers plus 1 to 1.5 increase on you MPG seem like a pretty good deal for a $300 bolt on item.
Oh yead the Owner of aFe is also a HUGE BMW fan and does all kinds of testing on his M3, M5 and X5 at there shop.

Hmmm, I wanted one too....Ahhh guess Dinan is the direction.

I guess I'm back to buying it. I'm also going to put a ecu upgrade, and an exhaust. I think there should be a difference. Thanks again...

I can feel the difference in my X - (AFE, Remus, Stag. 20's and ECU programming)

[BimmerDude]

What kind of ECU did you get and from where? Remus is ordered and on the way to me. I will get pics ASAP... Thanks.

Can you tell me where I can buy a remus exhaust for a resonable price? Also can someone post pics of one on the X? Cheers!
