ACK! I've been bitten!

So after a whole month of holding off on modding the X I finally had to give in and let the mod bug start to go a little wild... Can't wait!

On the schedule for this week:
-Dinan Stage 3 Engine Software
-Dinan High-Flow Throttle Body
-Dinan Tranny Software
-Dinan Front Strut Tower Brace
(only 7 of 10 Dinan points! dammit!)

Then over to the Indy for:
-Resonator Delete with XPipe
-Magnaflow Exhaust w/ Dual Tips

Gotta say I'm tempted to go with the Dinan Free-Flow Exhaust as well just to round out the system... and earning my 10 Dinan points to get the deck lid badge but I have yet to hear the note of that system and find the sound of the Magnaflows to be rather intoxicating. Gonna be an 'espensive week but should be worth it... and will tide me over till I can decide on wheels.

Thanks to mtX5 indeed! The magnaflows just sound awesome on the X5! Tho I really have no idea if the Dinan stuff is going to change the exhaust note any.

Has anyone here installed aftermarket headers on a 3.0i X5? It's something I'd like to do as well, just to open it up and let it breathe as easily as possible.

After cold-air intake I'm not sure what else I'll wanna do performance-wise, throwing a supercharger on a 3.0 seems silly considering the cost vs. the gains. Any suggestions?

True, brakes... thats on the list too. Brembo is pricey but they've always treated me right on past cars.
