Swapped to a stainless X-pipe afterwards. Definitely louder than stock but much more refined. Probably more along the lines of what the car should’ve come with stock.

I think that is sufficient for me, you hear the increase inside and outside the car. Not as loud as an X5M Comp, but for $200 installed it can’t be beat.

Thanks for the break down!
Just to clarify:
You went from the stock resonator to two individual straight pipes to the stock pipes and muffler then to the X pipe with stock pipes and muffler?
$200 is an excellent cost for that change. Can you share the link for the X pipe or was it supplied by the shop?
Also do you have a flap value control installed on the system? Like the SST controller?
I’d also like to hear a clip at cold start, idle and rev if you could.

Sorry for all the questions!
