BMW x5 4.8is (e53)- X-pipe or Straight Pipe?? PLEASE HELP

I have X-pipe. There are quite a few threads here on X-pipe install. I had also posted one on the exact X-pipe to get.

Where is the best placement for the X-Pipe? Front, middle, back? When comparing with the resonator. And which X-Pipe is the best? Here is a Picture of the only X-Pipe available where I live. It’s a Simons U9063XR 2 1/2 inch. Your thoughts are needed!

Thanks for the fast replies. I’m not sure if they have Magnaflow here in Sweden but I’ll look around. I think I’m stuck getting the Simons because it’s the only one I can find here at this moment. Do you think there is a BIG difference in sound & performance between the two? And as for placement I thought the same. (Middle)

I like the sound of that. I like it a lot. I see we are in the UK? Where did you get your pipe done and what did they do please? I am based in Kent.
