Xpipe drone

for you guys that are running an x-pipe on your x5s - did you notice any performance loss or drone inside the car at low rpms?
I ran an x-pipe on my e46 and after a few months the drone around 2k rpm started getting on my nerves and it felt like i've lost a few horses at low rpm as well...

If adding an x-pipe gives you a drone, you're doing it wrong.
