X5 M50i FI downpipes and X pipe (Video)

Hey Guys
So I finally got my FI 200 cell downpipes installed and replaced resonators with X pipe (put the exhaust flaps back in)

Compared to stock its a much deeper tone and you can finally hear the turbos spooling.
There is absolutely no drone or raspiness.

If you are looking for a louder option with burbles and raspiness then replace your resonator with just straight pipes and open up your exhaust. This was option was way too much for me

I attached a pic of the mounting brackets for the downpipes, the X pipe itself and video of the results

I ran 2 pulls, 3rd and 4th gear
Look under the gear column to see which is which
Let me know if they come up clear enough to read



Attached Images

Logs look good to me but I am no expert.
What is the calc_torque column? Values seem to be high 0s to low 70s.

That is a fantastic question for someone who knows that they are talking about

Hopefully some one who knows more than we do will chime in and explain it for us.
I'm looking forward to running the JB4, just crossed 700 miles on my M50i and I swear it has more power than the day I drove home from the dealer.

Very cool. Link to downpipes you purchased?

Any issues with installation, or was it straightforward?

I am taking them off today and will be up for sale

Did your local dealer give you a hard time about warranty or anything? I just received my catted DPs and looking for a place to install. Prefer the dealer but don't want them to flag my car. Why are you selling?

Also, did you use any O2 spacers or a JB4 to keep CEL off?

The dealer is mod friendly and didn't give me any issues installing it.
I'm taking it for because even with a 200 cell Downpipes, I get the smell in the car with windows down and CEL comes on every 3-4 days. Only way of getting rid of that is to hardwire it off which I don't want to. I use JB4 to clear the code
