First the megan exhaust. Its dirt cheap, cuts weight, sounds and looks better than stock. Then get some downpipes. Ultimate racing makes some catted ones or mrmomo is selling some i believe. Then talk to Velos they will retune your truck to the DPs. It will be hauling and look great.

If you have real deep pockets look into PP Performance. They have DP, header and turbo upgrades.

You need the x6m hood with the power dome. That would complete it

You need a tune with them so combined with a stage II tune down pipes are really that bad ass. It went from being a fast SUV to being a berserk SUV.

what o the down pipes do?
I will have the Velos stage 2 tune after this weekend... just need to upload it as BMW reset while my car was in the shop

Down pipes.. make car louder -- bc in cul de sac and have babies so it can't be a real loud car

thanks

The downpipe wasn't that loud to me, it is acceptable probably I have the akrapovic one. The exhaust sound only scream when I press the m mode and sport shift.

With normal driving below 2k rpm is sound like stock but you can hear the turbo sound.

I am not sure if I am the only one running akrapovic downpipe and full exhaust with velos stage2 upgraded ( modded with dp).

The performance is insane, it is bad that I didn't have a chance to test that on the drag strip yet.
