thank you, it seems my local shop tried to quote me over300$$ US to custom install this. Needless to say we are in search of a new install shop in chicago...:dunno:

Depends on personal taste. I want a deep, loud but smooth sound when I do further exhaust mods.

you can definitely do better than that.

I went to Action Muffler ...here in Northeast OH ...

action muffler - Google Maps

If you are close to any of them give them a call...they should offer a similar price...

guy at work today in the garage when i parked my car said "man.. that's a young man's car.. that thing barks like a big dog.. " lol.. got the X-Pipe recently and still loving it. nice enough that i dont hear it really when i'm in the car listening to music.. just slightly..

Clean looking welding job - congrats and enjoy!

Man, those tires must make rainy days exciting!

I saw that as well, time for some new rubber to go with that X-pipe...

I will change them before summer end...I have had these tires since october 05 I believe...

hey guys, would it make a difference if i just install the x-pipe on my 04 4.4i x? iv been wanting to change the way my car sound and i hope this is it? Dannyell, can you post a video to see how urs sounds? thnx.

There are many videos og V8 X5s with x-pipes here like this one.
