It is possible to get them in UK as well. Just need to know the right people in Uk who has X5 which already is xpiped.

Guys so I finally made a video for you to watch.. first is the video like 1 minute.. then I made a better video next day (longer) but cut out the video to reduce file size just audio since this is all we want to hear anyways.. So there you go guys... H-pipe install on a 4.8is (2006) -- enjoy & let me know what you guys think...

1.) VIDEO & AUDIO: IMG 0747 - YouTube
2.) AUDIO ONLY (next day): BMW x5 48is hpipe - YouTube

Let me know what you think... I might install the x-pipe in future to see difference but for now IM happy

First video sounds way better. The second has some sort of rattling.

That sounds less raspier than the X-pipe. Your cam must have great audio to record that close and not get any breakup.

i wonder if you can do H pipe and X pipe altogether?>...just a thought..

You could .... but why?! LOL!

Sound-wise, based on that first audio I would go with H-pipe.

However, because we don't have a true head-to-head comparison recorded from the same cam - its really hard to truly know how they compare. I'd love to have an X-piped vehicle next to his and recorded with the same cam.

just the thought..lol.....
