Competition exhaust on non-competition X5M
Planning on picking up my X5M in the next week or so and was wondering if it was possible to install a competition mid pipe on the standard X5M exhaust as I did with my current F90 M5. Anyone try this yet?
Thanks- |

don't see why not but don't think its worth it anymore, on the f90 changing the resonator on the non comp gave it a lot more burbles and crackles and little bit more exhaust noise, the new f95 regular or comp has no pops or bangs so I can't imagine it would be a huge difference, Probably better off just deleting the factory resonator if you want more sound or go aftermarket exhaust route, don't think doing the comp midpipe will be worth it anymore.

really on a F95? or of F90? I've never heard anyone say that... I think it sounded great and for the cost bang for your buck was high... I do agree tho on the f80/82/83 it wasn't the best option and gave it even more rasp

Don't bother. The x5m comp exhaust is lame. Wait for after market. It barely makes any noise at all.

Then you clearly are not coming from a 2016 m3 equipped with the OEM M performance exhaust. The "Sport" Exhaust in the X5M Comp is currently lame. I drive the car every day. For an M car it should have a setting that is more aggressive if desired. They do this for the first years of production on purpose so they can upsell the M Performance exhaust as a 7k option. . I am waiting until it is available to get mine installed.

The sound level is bad because of new sound restrictions (EU). The mperformance which I have for example on my 540i 2017 no longer exists. Dealer told me that "add Mperformance" is no longer available to buy here in EU. |

Some like deep v8 exhaust that goes vroom vroom while others like rat ratt ratttt pop pop pop ppop. With that said I wish the stock Comp exhaust on the X5M to be alittle louder once its warmed up. Cold start is already loud enough.

After having the Dinan then Eisenmann Race on my F85 I want to be careful with just throwing on a loud ass exhaust on this car. My Eisenmann Race on the F85 had all the volume you could ever want, shift farts etc... but the tone wasn't refined. Sort of like a raunchy american V8 tone instead of a refined exotic tone. Lets see what Akra does with this platform. Hopefully it doesn't cost 10K too....

Is there any difference in sound between x5m EU and US? Because we have the sh*tty sound restrictions here. So I am curious if they do it in all regions or not. 2years ago the M cars were absolutely ok with the sound.. and if you installed Akrapovic it was super insane loud. But now? All cars has reduced sound here :-( no cracks and shots in exhaust. Also aftermarket ones like akrapovic etc cant do it because the restrictions works on all cars/exhausts here. (Maybe only if you do it against the law) mb in the US the aftermarket ones could be without limitations like here are because as I know there are no limitations ? |
