Change 3.5i exhaust tips to 5.0's
Hi Folks,
After discussed with member mdrobc13, I gave up to upgrade exhaust with Eisenmann, cuz I hate drone in my cabin. So I need you guys help again. I heard there are OEM 5.0i exhaust tips available for my 3.5i. If I am going to upgrade with it, will it also cause huge drone in my cabin? And lose torque at the low RPM? |

If you haven't noticed already, X6 only have the left exhaust opened while below 3K RPM.
I used the golf-tee mod to force both side to be opened at all times, and I really hate the resulting sound. I would imagine changing to 5.0i tips would sound the same, since it's just changing tips. You should also do the golf-tee mod to see if you like the noise. |

There is a handle on the passenger side exhaust that controls the gate. Just use the zip tie to tie the handle so that the gate is permanently open. It takes only a couple of minutes to do. Do it when your exhaust is cold!! |

Luckily enough the 30d doesn't have this flap so I ordered the exhaust upgrade to 50i tips today. Unfortunately there are none in Oz so have to wait 10 days to get them in.

Some people can handle the extra noise, so it's down to personal preference Personally, i think it sounds bad (especially when cold started) |

How about the OEM performance exhaust set. Have you ever heard about it?
