Schizo, who?

I agree, the stock exhaust does sound good, and it's fine for me. The opinion that I expressed that you're referencing was probably on BMWX54.4's thread where he made his X5 sound like an AWD ASS mobile by removing his resonator and mufflers and went with straight pipes. Since then I think he's redone it once or twice and it still sounds like ass since he's still got the straight pipes and tried to mask the obnoxious drone he has by putting the stock mufflers back on. Everyone is entitles to their opinion and what they determine is a good exhaust note, but in my opinion (which I expressed to him), he should have left on the mufflers (the same ones e53x54.4 used in his video) and reinstalled the stock resonator (get rid of the drone and regain the scavenging affect of the exhaust) instead of doing it the way he has it now. Even he admits it sounds terrible, but even after I told him the benefits of what his stock resonator does (internally x-piped), he chose to do the exact opposite.

The reason I said to go away is because of your unnecessary overuse of exclamation points, lack of ability to hit the SHIFT key when you start a sentence and then compounding it with 3 LOL's. That's something my kids would do. As for the exhaust, I wouldn't do both the x-pipe and these mufflers, but from how it sounds so far, I'm considering it. My opinion still stands that the stock exhaust sounds good, but for $38 shipped for mufflers, I'm not ruling out getting the mufflers and leaving it at that.

Respect you're completely right.

I'm using a french keyboard and i'm not familiar with it so the caps lock is always on to be able to write numbers.

1) EDITED - Sorry, I just don't understand why you feel the need to come in here going crazy with the caps lock on, using 10 exclamation points, etc. Break, given.
2) The Dodge Ram SRT10 is a TRUCK, not a car.
3) That engine is 8.3, not 8.5, so if you're going to try and be witty or funny, at least know the facts.

Fair enough.

So, e53....where are those pics man? It's been weeks and you still haven't put them up yet. Also, after listening to those videos, have you taken your X into the shop to have them look further into that sound? If it's the same, it's not going to fix itself and only snowball into more repairs if you let it keep going.
