Question X5 X-Pipe

I'm looking to replace my stock resonator with a magnaflow x-pipe that is dual 2.25 in 2.25 out and I added a link so tell me what you guys think and is this the route I should take if I wanna replace my stock resonator?
I use to have 2 smaller 12in aftermarket resonators and it was way to loud with my Dinan free flow exhaust.
Lmk with your thoughts and opinions please?
Thanks guys!

You can listen to mine. It's in my signature. I have the x pipe and the Dinan mufflers.

Your setup sounds baller,I just saw that vid,where did you get your X-pipe and how much was it? Did you see the link I posted? It's only 79$ through autoanything.com!

Also with the x-pipe do you lose power or gain power? Anything change at all after losing the stock resonator?

My x pipe was custom made at the shop. Better response is about all i could tell. Quite a few people have gone the magnaflo route. Search magnaflo xpipe and ypu should get a lot of results.

I got the magnaflow tru-x from amazon in april for less than $60 shipped. Haven't installed it yet due to mixed reviews on performance and sound.

Three different BMW's, you're probably a member on countless messageboards...and you still haven't learned to use the search button? Get the x-pipe and maybe replace your exhaust tips if you like the oval vs quad, but don't waste your money on mufflers. The stock resonator on these are HUGE compared to my 7, so the shop will charge more accordingly since they'll have to use more piping as well.

I'm just gonna do a X-pipe and I already have Dinan exhaust,I was just wondering if the X-pipe will be quite like the resonator?

The information is already on these boards, so I'm not sure what I'm letting you know that hasn't already been discussed. I'm sure typing 'x-pipe' in the search box will get you a PLETHORA of information.
