Ah, sorry, I didnt check the video in the link actually, was going off Green Dragon's post only for that. Also just to show the OP how the tilted can muflers mount up.

Another option I was wondering about would be a UUC TSE 330i muffler (a 2 can side by side muffler) split to two. At least that would be a system designed for an M54 engine.

GD, I've been wondering about cans for our trucks but worried it would sound shitty. So the long cans look to work without drone in your experience?

Funny that you posted this. I bought this X5 in January of 2012. X53jay4.8is is correct. The sound clip doesn't do it any justice. I sounded much better in person. It sounded amazing and complimented the headers I installed in August of 2013. I was very happy with that set-up. I had some YouTube clips posted, but I need to repost the clips as they were deleted. My YouTube account was based off my old work email.

Exhaust is tough. Everyone has a certain taste or desired outcome. I replicated that same setup with my current x5, but used Aero Ar25's which are used by the e46 m3 guys often because they kill rasp. I will repost the clips when I get on my computer a setup a new You Tube user.

Short answer. The long magnaflow cans sounded great with and without headers. I don't remember much drone at all with that setup and would be a safe recommendation. It had a nice growl. Paired with headers it sounded exotic. I find that video clips often don't capture or represent well the BMW I6. They tend to pick up and emphasize a particular tone. Maybe you guys have noticed this as well.

Anyone know any good muffler/tip combos?

Bought the vibrant performance 1040 mufflers but unfortunately the muffler itself is too long.

Any other recommendations before I end up going to the local shops in town asking what kind of mufflers they have. Being loud is fun but not when you have to deal with drone noise and only have an inline-six engine. Still looking for a great sound with minimal drone. Looking to do quad tips as I think it'll look better on the 3.0i

Seems like it's hard to find a muffler/tip combo.

You may just want to go with a beautiful muffler system designed specifically for the X5 and guaranteed to sound good and flow well with no drone.

GD, small world! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and experience on this.

Jay, those Eisenmanns are gorgeous, GLWS!
