One of the upsides of installing the x-pipe is that each side of the exhaust system now doubles the exhaust note.

The X5's have two four-to-two independent exhaust runs. So when you install the x-pipe, you can now hear all eight cylinders in each tailpipe where before it was only four cylinders per side.

Mustangs had this problem just a few years ago and a lot of the owners installed a cross over pipe for exactly the same reason. The exhaust sounds meaner now because they can hear all eight cylinders firing out of both sides of the exhaust pipes.

I went straight through with my 3.0, its nice and loud, it sounds like a Porsche 911. It gurgles a little but I like it, it makes the X sound like a beast!

Nice job.
Anyone compare this to the mod on the main x5World page with glass packs? That guy said he lost some low end torqe with straight through pipes. Any loss of low end torque with the X-pipe?

I haven't noticed any loss of low end torque with the x-pipe.

I believe the loss of torque he felt was simply before the computer adjusted for the added flow in the fuel adaptations... if he would have waited a day or so the DME woulda richened the mixture up a hair to compensate, thus giving a hair more than before.
