May I just say the E9x's powerdome NEVER gets old. Such a cool view from the driver's perspective.

I have a GoPro camera mount for the head rest posts. I'll mount it over the next day or so and get some vids of the instrument cluster so you can see and hear and get a more accurate representation.

Gotcha, but the weather is kinda wet right now, and has been the past couple days, and I drive the truck in the rain. Looking @ the forecast, it'll be wet until Monday. I'll try and get some vids then.

No worries. Safety first!

Here you go, some various speed driving, including WOT. You can clearly discern when I'm really on it vs. cruising.

Maybe I missed (I do that from time to time), but any data on increased power/torque relative to other x-pipes? I'm not expecting significant peak gains, but more interested in low-end and midrange torque/power gains relative to, say, the Akra x-pipe.

Nothing documented, no. There was another issue w/the car's baseline dyno run which caused the car to dyno low. Unfortunately, it wasn't discovered until after I put the x-pipe on and had the tune installed. Given that there's no accurate data to report.

Going to replace the rod bearings before dynoing again, but that won't be until after the forum-produced units are available.

Ah, bummer. Glad you got it all sorted out. Did you manage to grab a weight for the x-pipe with the cats?

Posts like these really make me want an m3. I would buy the car just for the sound.

Well done, love the custom engineered exhaust.

This would be interesting against...I beleive they are all running HJS, not sure on akra.

Different driving conditions (freeway, stop and go, low speed, etc....)

Is this the setup that SYT_Shadow ran and blew his engine from collapsed primary cats?
