Talking Video: BMW X5M - Akra & ar HFC DP at Hallett Raceway

Hey guys, I don't post on the boards very much but I decided I'd go ahead and throw a quick video together of the X5M after I had installed the ar Design's Ceramic Coated High-Flow Cat downpipes and the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system. Besides those two modifications it has K&N air filters. Runs great around the track just trailing a slightly modified E90 M3 by a couple seconds each lap. The X5M put up a respectable 1:39.2 lap on street tires and no tune... The main point of the video is to show other people the sounds of the full exhaust with HFC downpipes. Enjoy!

If anyone wanted to know I ordered the DP's directly from ar Designs and the Akrapovic came from iND distribution, those guys are top notch!!!

Sounds sick! I really need to get moving on an exhaust setup one of these days.

WOW! The Akrapovic with down pipes just sounds menacing. Always a pleasure working with you.

I have a question about if I drive in normal mode when the downpipe was installed, the exhaust sound will be louder than stock how many %?
I like the sound and power gain but sometimes I wanna drive like normal road user with grandma mph on highway :)thanks

I've got the the same setup only with resonated AR DPs and when driving normal and not in M mode it's just a tad louder than stock. I would say 5-10% louder than stock.

I might built the full akra system for the better sound, but ar dp does the same thing? Or just akra will have better sound? Didn't hear any dp and full exhaust x5m in NYC yet.
If anyone around NYC have the akra and dp, can we meet somewhere?
Sorry to hi jacking the post
