i wonder how much it would cost to install?

Eisenhaus makes awesome sounding exhaust, just youtube it and you can get sound clips from there.

Install it yourself, it is not difficult to install since it will be bolt on and you will save on labor costs.

I don't know about this Eisenhaus, becuase practically I don't want to turn my Bimmer into a Harley.. its just loud and rough, I like it low and meaty just like the E53..hahaha...

I guess no because the engine is completely different and the exhaust system for E53 might be of a different shape anyway.
So I guess you need to look up another aftermarket exhaust that would reseble truly lovely 4.8iS note.

Of course, the exhaust system is different too as the 4.8iS was a semi "M" model with more agressive note.

That's a lot of bullshit for a single post.

Why don't you tell us what the engine codes are for the E53 4.8is and the E70 4.8i.

y5choi: I do not know about a harley sound and you can select the type of exhaust you want from a meaty to a high pitched Ferrari.

No. Engine codes for the 4.8is and 4.8i. He's advocating that the E70 engine is different than the one in your X.

Scott has gone over this in this forum before that its same engine but tuned differently. I believe its code is N62NB48. You will also notice that when you search at realoem.com
