Can't wait to install them. One tip has a nick in it from either the dealer catching it on the floor or wall or it happened during shipping. Not super noticeable, but now that it's there, I may grind off the welds and weld on a replacement tip.

What mods have you bought for your X this spring?
Has it been dyno proven that the 4.8 mufflers make any increase in horsepower at all?

As for currently done mods...painted calipers and rotor hats, front and rear. New CV boot, grease and all - that's a mod, right HID foglights, went w/ 6000k bulbs but I think I'm going to bump them down to 5000k. Few months back I removed the stock cd player and installed an AVIC F90BT, and I'm still wrapping up the fiberglassing work on the stock subwoofer enclosure. Hardwired and mounted radar detector between headliner and rearview mirror.

Future mods...ENTIRE cooling system replacement, pre-VANOS intake manifold swap, Powerchip software, Mercedes paddle shifters, complete LED interior and license plate lighting.
