Just wanted to share my DIY mod for my 2003 3.0D Diesel X. I love the way the 2 oval shaped muffler tips come out on the rear for Gasoline Type X5's. I always envy their rear ends! SO I decided to GET THAT LOOK for my 3.0 Diesel X.
From this....
To this...
I didn't want to change the original exhaust system of the 3.0D because 1, I didn't want to mess up the current performance and power of the 3.0D since I'm very much contented with it. 2nd, the original exhaust end pipes are pointing downwards (were they should really be pointing when you have a diesel vehicle). I don't want spitting out black smoke directly on the faces of cars behind me!
Bought Exhaust Pipe Tips for the X5 Gas (4.4 or 4.6 or 4.8? I'm not sure sorry) and installed them on my 3.0D Diesel this way...
I'm sure the purists won't agree with what I've done and I respect that. I'm just so darn in love with those 2 shiny chrome tips protruding out that I had to really do it and get that look on my D!
Hope you get something out of this! Cheers!
