Thanks Engz. I appreciate it. Actually you can post the info here so it can benefit anyone reading the post.

Shea Stadium.

The shop is small. I go there only for exhaust/weld work. I'll probably go to him tomorrow and talk to him about the price. His name is Louis.

Hi All... I have purchased the x pipe for my 3.0i and it is currently in transit to Australia. I must admit even though I have read all the great things about doing the install I am still worried it will be too loud. I have had a number of performance V8s and the X5 is my first luxury vehicle. I would still like it to be a pleasant sound inside and not a grumbling "beast". I have heard the outside sounds on youtube but what does it sound like in the cabin?

If you have the 3.0i it woun't be too loud. You will either be pleased or maybe even want it louder.

A quick youtube search pulled up these vids, and I know there are some sound clips/videos on this forum as well.

I know there are better quality clips ou there than these, these are straight pipes as well... will sound smoother and quieter with the x-pipe.

Hey Weasel thanks for the vids. X pipe sounds good but straight is too loud for me......louder than a V8
