Throw in one of the new ecu flash tunes and you will have a beast. This is where I am drawing the line this time with my build. A 600hp SAV that sounds mean and looks good is all I want it to be. Ill save my money for a few years and get a used R8 or something as my toy. |

You are correct, the delta in HP is too great for a stage 1 tune to match, but it's the torque that compensates and surpasses the X5Ms figures.

Muffler delete and obd flash are both reversible to stock, but of course couple weld lines will be visible on exhaust piping - I'm not familiar how picky dealers are during lease return about things like that and what's the proper procedure
However, driving 2-3 years with stock silent exhaust and on stock tune - I couldn't do it, too much sacrifice imho |

did i miss videos? link to cold start and highway driving? exterior footage of acceleration?
would you renovate an apartment you're renting? do you detail loaner cars or rentals on vacation? why would you spend money modifying or improving someone else's property?

For the cost, I think most of us would probably take the $300 and burn it just to have the V8 rumble, shift pops and turbo whistle. It would probably be the least amount of money I've lost modifying cars.. lol

Correct. I meant welding seams will be noticeable and dealer may ask to replace exhaust with brand new. I'm not sure, I'm just speculating, I've never leased, I always bought my cars

ok folks, i have just return from muffler shop. put magnaflow x-pipe and the shop had black quad 4'' tha fit perfect.Now looks awesome and on idle perfect sound. When revving on P mode sound is so good .When start driving on lower RPM (4-4.5) it is just perfect but when i hit the gas hard and start accelerating fast on higher rpm sound is not deep at all and sound so cheap as old honda's (with all my respect to honda). So is just me having this problem.... is it because of the pipes and the tips ?!?

Have you found a shop that would do the exhaust mod yet?

yes i did found a good reliable shop . They had Magnaflow X-Pipe and some other brand . i choose Magnaflow not just because is more pricy but because it looks so close to stock pipes . here is the picture of it .

Looks great. Do you mind to share the shop info? You can PM me. I travel to Chicago a lot so maybe I will use your shop. The shop in my area (not really, it's an hour away) isn't that responsive about the build.
