X-pipe only Sound
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I would like to downpipes, but if i can get a nice grunt from an xpipe i'll do that. Or just maybe straight pipe a small section of the exhaust. Post a video if you have, thanks! |

I replaced the resonator with an x-pipe on a '19 M5 Competition.
I read good things about it but it wasn't what I was looking for, I still want a deeper note and more "thunder." Now I'm looking at doing downpipes or catless secondaries.

Did it give you a louder stock sound?

It took an Akra on my X5M to make me happy for comparison, even though the sounds are totally different. |

These downpipes seem stupid overpriced.
https://x-ph.com/evolution-racewerks-f90-m5-downpipes/ These are one of the better priced downpipes I've come across; $715.50. Also came across Megan Racing lower downpipes for $550 but haven't been able to find any information about them. https://shop.redline360.com/products...9-mr-ssdp-bf90 Another options I'm considering -open up the mufflers and straight pipe the exhaust through the mufflers. I had this done on my 2011 M3. Haven't come across anyone on the forum that's done it though.

I originally bought the Comp resonator and installed it at home. Afterward I wanted more sound so I took it off and bought an Eisenmann X pipe and cut it to the same length as the Comp. Then it just bolted back in place.

thats what i was saying too, i did this on my c63 and it was amazing, and cheap. Just remove a small section, put some straight pipe, done. Nobody has just an xpipe video to share? |

I'm going to go the straight pipe route first before considering the lower downpipes. I think it can be done for $300-400. Lower downpipes will be around $1,200 all in.

I posted pure (stock non Comp),( Comp ) plus Just posted (X Pipe only). All three vids are the same iPhone so you can compare the differences. All three vids have the stock rear muffler. Just resonator changes. |

Exhaust sound is terribly subjective. As bad as car color. For me, the sound volume increase from base M5 to M5 Comp was gained again from M5 Comp to X pipe.
