F15 X5 35i exhaust prototype

Here they are, the prototype of my own exhaust.
Currently it is only for the 35i, since my car is 35i.
The sounds is nice, got to work on some of the fitment still.
I have yet to find a way to record the sound. Tried with iPhone earlier but it came out not the same as the real thing.

Next, I am going to get the tip to be painted Gloss Black.

Enjoy.



update:
Gloss Black exhaust tip with Evolution Racewerks / ER Catless downpipe.

Very nice, Ben! Do you have a good camera that takes video? I'd love to hear the sound. Can you compare it to an exhaust sound of a vehicle on youtube perhaps? Is it deep like a lamborghini or raspy like a mustang/muscle car?

Thanks @opasha, it is deeper tone. It makes the car sounds like the real 6 cylinder car.
I'll try my SLR in the next couple day. Going to track the truck tomorrow for my local dealer track day event.
I want to see how many people going to think that I'm crazy tracking this truck.
But, since it is a turbo car, at high rpm, the sound is almost like stock.
Can't wait for the catless downpipe, it should bring the sound more.

Awesome . Looking forward to it. Enjoy your track day, buddy. Is it going to be a long winding/cornering track or just a straight away? I'm more of a full track kind of guy to test how my vehicles handle - also helps make you a better driver .

@opasha, here is the track info. It will be a real track, just going straight is not racing.
Used to go here for POC event 10 years go with my 964 C2.

Lucky you . That track looks awesome! I would love to drive there. The last track I drove at was for a Lexus event when the IS-F was first released at Summit Point, WV. That was fun.

Was there in May for 3 nights.
My next trip to Asia would be in another 2 years, and might fly SQ. Still trying to rack up some points to upgrade to the Suite Class in the A380,

Like what this guy did.

LOL, Crazy! I'd rather upgrade to an X5M with that much money, haha.

Here's another one for a smaller room: http://hackmytrip.com/2014/02/review...angeles-tokyo/

The write up is hilarious, even if it's true - especially the scary bits about how they've branded your name to memory even before you step on board. There's also a lot of fawning and they'd even throw petals along the way for you - OK OK, the last bits are made up.

But, the lobster IS good - I should know, my wife couldn't help herself and shoved 2.5 down her gullet, leaving me to finish the remaining 1/2 she couldn't finish.

Here's a picture of the stewardess making our beds - the yellow "stain" in the lower frame is from the camera's flash, I did NOT wet myself from all the excitement!

As am I . That's very true. I think we're lucky that the F15 forums are so positive with great members from all walks of life.

I had this same mod done to my E71 with OEM parts. The looks and sound were really cool.

I do think that they would have been nicer if they were black.

Be careful....I am there 2-4 x per year. 3x this year already, possibly again in mid Q4.

I'll try to do it tomorrow. I just got back from tracking the X5 today.
It was fun. No one passed me except an M3 and M4.
I'll post some of the track video later.
