@@rafaelgarcia6283 cold revving is when you start your car in cold temperatures and u rev it, it damages the engine because you aren’t letting the car warm up. You are forcing the engine when you go high rpms.
@@rafaelgarcia6283when it’s cold always let you’re car warm up you’ll know when it’s good when you see the thermostat go up and not move anymore. Like halfway or little less depending on your bmw.
The shop I took it to in Houston either already had one or they were able to make one. It was the same diameter as the current exhaust. They added the xpipe in the middle, cut the muffler off and then welded new pipes to the cut ends. It was a very simple mod and made it sound so much better. Xpipe helps reduce the drone. I followed what a lot of people did on F15bimmer forums
TSW wheels. I have the staggered fitment posted on the F15 BMW forum. It’s as big of a tire and wheel combo you can go without hitting the upper control arm
Never had this issue and neither did anyone else that posted they did it on the BMW forums. On the F15 model years cutting the muffler off near the tail pipes wouldn’t flag the ecm. I’m sure you can use a scanner to check what the engine light code is.
@@Texasdr I see, I just got a mid muffler delete done, I was thinking of removing the actual muffler in the back but I’ve seen a video of a guy do it and he had a loud rattling sound (I think that’s drone) from the exhaust. So I’m thinking of doing what you did.
@@michaelbushy I did what most have done on the forums. Had a shop add an X pipe, remove the muffler and weld new pipes to connect the two cut ends and keep the same tailpipes. I don’t have any rattling and the X pipe helps eliminate excessive drone.
I had mine done at a muffler shop in Houston and it came out to $550. It will vary depending on where you're located. I just had them cut the muffler off, weld new pipe to the cut tips to cut pipe and added an X-pipe. The X-pipe was the same diameter as the existing piping. I kept the resonators as well.
Did you keep the stock resonators on the front side of where you put the x pipe? I did muffler delete and x pipe and way too loud with a lot of drone but thinking I should have left the resonators on it.
Kept the stock resonators. I only had the shop remove the muffler and then weld new pipes from the cut muffler section to the existing tail pipes. They added the X-pipe. Some drone at 1,100 rpm, but not bad enough to bother me on long road trips or driving clients
They’re 22s in a staggered set up. 22x10.5 up front and 22x11 in the rear. Tires are also staggered but I wanted a little more of a sidewall since the roads can be rough here. Here’s my post walking through the set up. It’s as big as you can go before you touch the upper control arm in the front f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?s=05a665123663f719ec152fe04a807d3d&p=23847779#post23847779
Thank you for not cold revving it like most Bmw owners

When you rev it you are working your oil pump to push the oil across the motor faster. That’s a myth that’s been debunked
I’m looking into doing something like this on my X5. Sounds pretty good.
It’s an inexpensive mod to have a muffler shop remove it, add and x pipe and weld new pipe to the cuts made. Def do it
@@Texasdrhey bro how much did it cost and how do you avoid the check engine light from coming on
Only muffler delete sounds nice
Where did you get the x pip if you don't mind me asking. I have the same car and would like to do a similar set up!! Sounds so clean!!!

Car sounds top pal 👌🏻 out of curiosity what brand of wheels are those and what figment are they?

Check engine light came on immediately after this

Yo bro how much did it cost, just bought a black on black one a week ago
@@Texasdrhe’s trolling dw. He probably never owned a bmw
What engine is it the v8?
Stock V8
Is that a diesel?
It's gas. It's the the stock 4.4l v8 twin turbo it comes with.
50i ?
It is
No drone?
Very little at 1,100 rpms. Haven’t had an issue driving around town or long road trips. Definitely the best mod to do and not very expensive.
