Finally resonator-free!

[NJ04e53]

After having the part sitting for a year or so, I finally had it installed today. I don't hear much of a difference being my x5 is a 3.0, but the throttle response seem to be better or maybe it's just in my head. I have not really got the chance to hear it at WOT 'cause I went through traffic. . I was not able to take pics of it being welded 'cause the mech told me to wait at the waiting room for liability purposes (Meineke). Here are some pics of the work done taken at my driveway (crawling). Now I just need to get tips to make this a better setup, and an intake may be as well on its way
