Delete on 3.0!
I will attempt a muffler delete on an 3.0, in about a month when I convert to M Package bumpers.
Wanted to avoid paying for an MPE, around $900 w/shipping. Shop told me $250 for a Y pipe, plus I will supply the tips. Am debating on diesel carbon fiber, akrapovic-like double quads, or simply painting aftermarket "stock-like" exhaust tips. I got MPKK, so I'm very curious to see how it'll work out. Will record videos before and after. Stay tuned! |

Did you bring in your own x-pipe to the shop or they got one for you?

Tips are tough choice - too many to choose from and too little imagination (at least for me) to pick proper ones |

As for tips - I don't trust myself, I have bad taste for choosing something. It's always good to find some pics of how it looks on x5 In any case I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised by outcome - it's really hard to make that V8 sound bad |

BTW for those who may get a bit scared of exhaust been too loud - it's not! It's got a bit quieter recently, after I drove about 400 miles or so. My bet is ECU/DME is adjusting for the new volumetric change in exhaust and now it's more efficient and torquey. Tone changed to more mellow but still deep and strong. Lots of pops too!
I think it's the best mod I did - splitting the 1st place with Stage 1 tune |

I got BPC (Bimmer Performance Center) Stage 1 tune and they just released Stage 2 (it's not on their website yet). I think any Stage 1 tune should bring 50i to x5m level as there's 120hp difference roughly and that's about how much you get with Stage 1 (give or take) The reason I chose BPC is because they were first who offered DME flash on the market for n63tu. Also, they currently hold record for fastest diesel BMW in the world. IMHO they are #1 in US/Canada but I may be biased |

I kept resonators only because they help with drone. IMHO just muffler delete with x-pipe turned out to be perfect for a car that is still not race car or tracked everyday. Biggest impact will be if you remove stock cats and go with downpipes, but together with muffler delete - that will be a straight pipe and will be TOO LOUD
