Of course not. That is why I am targeting the 3.0 members here. I'm trying to get as deep and loud as possible. I don't want to end up being mistaken for a honda civic

I personally wouldn't get the remus. I know many people who have gotten it but got bored of it fast and moved on. If you want just mufflers, you have alot of options. I might be getting the magnaflows soon, will let you know how those turn out..

Sorry, I knew you weren't - I was saying it to V8 posters.

Another vote for the custom exhaust at your local shop with magnaflo mufflers. Significantly less expensive.

sound wise...hard to tell without actually hearing it...and then it's too late if you don't like it. But I would think if the guy is good, he's probably done lots of them - maybe not to X5's but to similar size cars. Ask him if he could give you a reference to a customer he's done with a similar setup.

I just sold my 04' 4.4 and took off the exhaust (Einsmann Race w/4x83mm tips) I loved the way it sounded, I might be selling it here if my buddy dosent want to buy it.(he has to clear it with his wife!)

I'm running Remus and never get bored of it. V8 sound clip is in my sig... lots of 3.0 exhaust vids on youtube.

eisenmann race.. thats a pricey one. But i can imagine it sounding amazing. how much would you be listing it for if his wife doesnt approve? probably still over my budget

you have a V8 though. So you get that deep rumble regardless. On a 3.0 .. well... its just not that great IMO.
