Modified stock exhaust for X5M.
Wanted to share my project I did with the stock exhaust this week.
First as you going to see I open the shell (pic #1) there I found two mufflers one bigger and one smaller. The smaller one is the side of the valves which would be used once the car would be on the M mode. What I did is I kept the smaller muffler but moved it where the bigger muffler was and eliminated the bigger one. On the place of the smaller muffler I put straight pipe (pic #5). Sound of the exhaust very happy, I had the eisenmann race and honestly I like this one more since I can even use the factory valves. By the way got one for sale if anyone intrested. I will also try to post a video this weekend. Thank you. |

Great work! How much louder is it than stock in regular mode, and then in M mode?
Any drone?

Question for welding in the straight tube in-place of the muffler. Do you need to cut open both TOP and BOTTOM of the muffler housing in-order to weld it properly? I would prefer to only butcher the top of the housing so it will be hidden when I re-install it back on.

If you care that much try to follow lines on the muffler so the weld hides better. |

Search "OEM Exhaust Mod" on any E92 M3 forum and you'll get lots of hits. I was attempting to do the same thing with the Suitcase on my 50i M Sport, but the shop advised just to do magnaflows (the same shop has done the OEM mod on several M3s...) |
