It's been so long since I've driven my X5. I bought a Prius for my commute and gotten use to the 50mpgs and $40 for a full tank of regular gas.

Haha, that's awesome. Does your Prius look like this yet?

I think it will once @Zipforia bring it to my place.

The only thing make sense if you wanted to change the tip design.
I believe even ACS muffler design for the diesel doesn't change the sound much.
Trust me, you don't want to make a tractor sound with the M50d.

I may gone overboard with my statement. It won't go as far as tractor sound, but it is a diesel. Before the turbo spooling up, it will sound very diesel like. But, once the turbo spooled and up to the speed, it will absorb most of the noise.

Updated post with new video of the muffler with black tip and catless downpipe.
Also, first batch of the muffler is in process. Most likely won't be available in Black tip yet until I find the best solution.
Enjoy.

How is the cabin noise under load/highway speed acceleration not passing RPM's?

I get in sport mode we are a little over 2k so we would only hear high end notes but maybe comfort mode under 2k when load of pulling really comes into play on our 35i's

On low RPM with load, it sounds deep from inside the car.
There is a slight drone, but I am having trouble catching it since it changes with climates as the timing of the motor is automatically adjusted to the climate. I once got a really bad drone at high heat with low humidity if I remember it correctly.
Also it is very hard to make it drone free with an open trunk space.

In the video I really hear the Turbo. Is that due to a racechip?

No, that's due to the air intake and catless downpipe. Mostly due to the air intake, since it is not muffled by the oem enclosure anymore.

Ok. I am assuming you did a quick tune after the intake or was it plug and play?

I have the whole possible Bolt-On mods in my car.
Air Intake, JB4, Catless downpipe, Chargepipe, Muffler.
I did Air Intake and piggy back tune at the same time.

Ok, so you did need to tune for the new intake.

No. But the intake is not useful without the tune.

Hello Ben,

Any updates on this? Would it work on the 3.0 litter diesel version? The sound is awesome!

It is done already. I just haven't got a chance to advertise it since there is minor defect in the first batch.
It won't fit on the diesel unfortunately though.
Even if it fit, it won't sound the same.

Ben,

Can you explain why Diesels exhaust doesn't sound as good? I'm assuming it is just the nature of the engine type?
