X-Pipe Mod Done! :D
 

I've been following this forum for quite a while and decided to join the bandwagon.

Anyway I own an E53 2001 4.4 with rear auto-levelling. Nice daily driver but not as powerful and handles slightly clumsy. Will work on it as time passes.

Today I did my X-pipe mod however I can't really hear the difference...or maybe I'm just deaf :rofl:

Chopped of the old resonator

Enlarged the pipe to fit into the existing one. Easier to install :p:

Was also wondering if I am suppose to remove the cat to actually hear the difference but I am afraid I will lose out on low rpm torque... :(

If you wanted a little more sound, you should have just welded on a straight pipe instead of x pipe.

Worried the sound would be unbearable...

I had a 330CI auto and I change the piping and muffler and regretted...lol..

Scared to do so ever since...

Now I am thinking of lowering the car....finding good adjustable end links :D

Any videos ??? and where did you buy your X-Pipe ??? like how its polished.

Well done.... i like your ebay Hamann tips.

I used 2 Y-pipes and connected them. Did not need to polish em' since they were lying around a friend's shop.

LOL....what makes you think they are Ebay ones? :P


Anyone got any reliable and good end-link links to buy from? :D

yup... loweringlinks.net... contact Rob!

Owh....thanks for pointing it out...

Gotta make sure my mate doesnt try charging me for original ones...lol..
