Shipping from UK may kill the deal. Go to another muffler shop and show them this pic.

Shipping in my experience for that weight and size would be about 50$. Based on previous stuff I have sent.

But I wouldnt sell it to you though.

I know they have done similar for international owners clubs so I am sure though that if there were enough people the guy would set up a jig and produce a run of them. Then bulk ship them over. But that would be between whoever was interested and the shop.

Nothing to do with me but I agree with Le Mans, thats what I'd do in your place.

??? what's the cost again. are you friend of any U.S. Militray personal..they have access to u.s. postal service....

Will these x-pipes be available to x5 members? Would be really nice to have one on my x.

PeteM 08-26-2006 01:45 PM

The whole thing including install cost me 120 quid.

I dont know how much for the pipe itself.

If its something a few of you are interested in I can ask the guy to give a rough price to see if your interested but it will depend on numbers. If its a one off I guess about 70 quid.

But as I said before I really cant see why you cant find a guy over there that could do it based on the photos of this one and others on the forum. As long as he has a good knowledge of the principles of an exhaust system.

In respect military contacts I left the mob myself a long time ago so any guys I did know I have not been in contact with for a long time.

Thats a nice install.

I get a lot of popping when accelerating and rasping when cold from my X-Pipe, (magnaflow) you say you dont get none at all is that right?

Anychance you can post a sound clip?

PeteM 08-27-2006 05:16 PM

Thanks


Absolutely not no rasping no popping no resonance just a deep growl. I am very pleased with it.

I would post a sound clip but I wouldnt know where to start if you do let me know.

Good looking x pipe and install. Mine looks just like yours ( but not as good looking) and it was also made from some exhaust kind of pro guys.
