Isn't that more applicable for V8 engines?

No. Sure, it will sound better on a V8, but it will also sound good on the I6 engines too. It's just another option to doing an exhaust.

I have a very loud exhaust system from headers back on my M5. My wife absolutely hates it. Anyway, I'm not allowed to touch the X5's exhaust, which is why the X-Pipe might be a decent alternative.

Which model of the Magnaflow X-pipe are you referring to?

I have searched and searched for an X-Pipe for the E70 4.8i with no avail. Are you aware of a manufacturer that produces one, or an exhaust shop that can make one up (which costs more because of the labor charge.)

Any good exhaust shop can fabricate an x pipe. It doesn't have to be an aftermarket product. Labor is nothing, you can get a nice x-pipe set up for around $200 or even less.

If I can get it done for that amount or less, I'll do it tomorrow. I have to research some indy shops around here and plan that out. C's suggested a shop called Perfect Ten, but was unsure if they only do body/paint work. It's on my list of todo's for August or September.

MAKE SURE its a dedicated exhaust and muffler shop who specializes in this area only. DO NOT even entertain body shops etc...This is a very doable mod, no need to spend a lot of $$$

Paint/Body Work - Perfect Ten Auto Body in West Babylon. Owners name is Matt. Tell him I referred you and they will take GREAT care of you.

Powdercoating - Colorlife Powdercoating in Hicksville. Owners name is Al. Tell him I referred you and they will take GREAT care of you.

Best Exhaust Shop - American Muffler on Old Country Rd in Westbury. Can't remember the owners name, but they do it all and it's all custom. This is where most of the serious auto tuners/owners take their babies to get done up.

As for the X-Pipe, AutoAnything.com. Member LI-X5 got the E53 version from them and it sounds outstanding! They make one of the E70 too. Just go on their site.

Hope this helps.

Supersprint also makes similar bolt-ons for the X....

I may install these with my 2010 X5 3.0 M-pkg purchase..

if you're tired of the oval shape try these...scroll down for the dual pipes.
