I wish I had dyno'ed it before and after the Dinan stuff installed, just to see what the gains and losses were.

To me it was worth it! For a few reason. 1) It knocked me back down to earth in realizing the X5 isn't a sports car. 2) It was my first dyno event 3) I finally got to hear the Dinan exhaust from outside the car.

I would say do it, if I were you Rich. But if your 3.0 puts down better numbers than me, I may have to go look for a new car!

sure stinks- took you a few thousands and a dyno to realize it was not a sports car and even want to sell it?

The X5 isn't going anywhere! It's a great SAV! Plus I know at 6'8'' I am going to have a rough time fitting into a sports car, unless its an M5, then I will use a shoe horn to get myself into it!
