Can I ask why you did the H-pipe and can bigger tips be installed? The biggest tips I've found online are 4" or a little over 8" combined, but I was curious about fitting larger...assuming I can even find them.

I've seen those Akropovic tips, but at $420 a pair, that's a bit steep. I've been looking at mostly black or that burned titanium look to match the vinyl CF wrap I'm going to do to minimize how obvious the hitch looks.

I had originally purchased the Megan racing exhaust but another forum member, my buddy JeST bought the full Akrapovic system and asked if I wanted his old setup... after hearing it on his tuned X5M with catted dp's I gladly accepted...The H was already welded to the pipes when I got them

I'm not sure what the biggest size tips are available for our trucks but imho anything over 4'' would be overkill. My truck sounds similar to the one in your video but I'm sure unless you hear it in person, videos won't do it justice...I'll try and post a video after I install the new dp's as I'm sure it will sound even better
