Yeah it's the axle back sections after the resonator. Sounds Throatier at idle, deeper, and low rpms as well. At higher rpms just a little deeper than stock.

Perfect sound and just what I was looking for, better flow from the larger diameter pipes and a deeper sound to the M54. It's def not loud like Eisenmann, but I wanted civilized in the cabin and an OEM+ look

Extremely happy with it and yes I now wonder who's ass is better, my wife's or my X5

Were things level? I seem to remember that either the vehicle or the transmission pan had to be level during the fill procedure. I'm not at home or I'd double check.

It's the vehicle that has to be level.

Installed new stoptech slotted rotors, new carbotech brake pads, new sensors and did a brake flush with OE brake fluid.

As expected, the pedal feel is horrible.

I gotta bed in the new brakes tonight...ill follow zeckhausen's recommendations on this...now hopefully there will be no cops on the freeway tonight at 11:00- 12:00AM cuz im about to put these rotors on fire

Four.8is,

Good luck out there. I have seen an increase in speed traps today. One almost got me on 18. I am interested to hear how those pads work after break in.

Josh, not worried about the speed, will take 522 East and keep it at 60 down to 10-20mph 8-10 times...its a pretty good stretch of road til you hit the light in Monroe..hazard lights on and braking on the shoulder should be pretty safe...unless I change my mind and do all this in Costco's parking lot
