After paying off the $1800 worth of parking tickets, put your resonator back in and start saving your money to repair your f'ed transmission. How cool do you look w/ a chick when your pushing your X5 out of that mall parking spot anyways?

Hey Rasta, can you email me or tell me where you got that wallpaper for your navi screen. I've been using a few WSU ones randomly, but they're getting old.

I was listening to mine yesterday while driving and there is no droaning or raspiness and it isn't loud inside. the xpipe will solve some of your issues. if u think its still loud after the x pipe then put the stock mufflers back on. if its loud on the inside then make sure u have the cargo cover pulled back.

Isn't "for real" supposed to be two words? Why are you such a dip$hit? If you don't want people opinions, quit posting it on public forums. You screwed up, you've finally come to grips w/ it since you've admitted it's too loud, yet you can't admit you screwed up and take the comments you should only expect. It's called accepting responsibility and you made a poor decision, so why be a smartass to other people for something you did? After reading various posts and threads of your, clearly this is something that eludes you.

Google "eludes" if you're not sure what that means.

I agree, I'm just sayin. For I6 users, I'd follow the advice of others and stick w/ what people have used and had luck w/ before. Drone and a backfiring type sounds in an exhaust sucks, as I learned the hardway in my 7.

It'd be nice to be able to hear BMWX54.4's ebay mufflers in person (pre resonator delete) to see if going that route would have turned out like the Magnaflow's did for the 5,7 and M boards, where it sounded great w/o costing the price of the more expensive $1k+ systems out there. At the moment, my stock exhaust is enough for me, and under full throttle it has a burble/choke that I'm not a fan off, so hearing some other systems would be nice to see if there was a way to get rid of that noise.

BMWX54.4 although we all know that you hate m5james, i would take his advice on this one. he really seems to know what hes doing with the cars.

yes it may be a matter of pride, but when you save a bunch of $$ because of him, your pride wont matter anymore
