I ended up painting them. Check out the 'Make X5 Great Again Brembo DIY' thread for pics.

Has anyone with the muffler delete feel less torque on the high end flooring it from 60mph? It seems like I'm missing some power but not sure..

Either the loss is still there and I don't notice it anymore or it corrected itself. |

Going muffler less or straight pipe will cause you to lose low end torque. You'll fly going high RPM at high speed, but not stop and go.

I was thinking more about the torque loss and figured there's one way to tell.
There's quite a few of us that have done the muffler delete/swap here in the Houston area. It might be worthwhile to put a mini meet together here in Houston and we can put them side by side to see if there is a difference in Low End Torque. Feelin Nauti / mikew2069 Wanna race, LOL? I've been wanting to see your vehicles for quite some time now and really want to see how much of a difference the MPBK has made on yours. I have DHP so you can also see how that feels. (Sorry its the only thing I can offer that's different) |

I am about to pull the trigger on the muffler delete with an X-pipe. Can anyone confirm if 4 inch dual tips can fit into msport bumper on 50i? And if so, do they need to be staggered or can we put straight ones at an angle to look flush with the bumper? Thanks guys.

Thanks, mate. Do you know any good ones? it looks like there is only a limited amount of options online.

Not really. I went with dual 3.5" to keep it simple.

I am thinking of going with these:

You are right, however, I could not find any that have a smaller gap or no gap which are also staggered, angled and also 4". There are several ones that are 3.5" with very little or no gap.

Finally finished the muffler delete project.
Used 2.5" in and out steel x-pipe, dual Vibrant bottle style resonators, and 4' inch double layer steel quad tips. It took some time to finalize this project as I was trying to figure how to fit the quad 4" tips and what tips to use. I also changed my mind the last minute and instead of spray painting them with VHT high temp paint, I had them powder coated with "gloss wet black". Please be advised: If you are going to do the same mod, you'll need exhaust tips that are less than 10 inches in overall length; that have a gap no more than 4 mm in between tips; and that are staggered. Still it'll be a very tight fit. But I am very glad that my wife insisted on 4" inch quad tips instead of 3.5 inch ones, because I was planning to have 3.5" tips because I knew that they'd fit. I used dual bottle resonators because I wanted to decrease the dB level of the muffler delete around 4-5 dB and prevent any drone (after watching almost all available muffler delete videos). I love the way the car sounds now. The x-pipe and the resonators are brand new so the sound characteristics will change slightly but it is perfect for my needs. You do not hear much when cruising with the windows up unless of course you step on it. Windows down, you hear it when you start accelerating at 1.5-2k rpm and when you are decelerating to a stop at the same rpm. When you drive leisurely, sounds almost stock. The pops and burbles are more pronounced than the stock exhaust and the decibel level is higher at idle when in gear. And the videos:
