Review: Bought this because of the video promoted by ECS on youtube. Definitely leaves the car exhaust louder with no drone. Louder mumble while idle. As for the burps and crackles shown in their video is nox-existent.

[@gabrielforget3935]

Just got it installed ! Exhaust note sounds beefier and a lot more bass down low in the Rpm's. The shifts "braap" sound between gears is much louder and crisper ! Overall would recommend !

[@jmb2027]

Is there a before vs. after comparison?

[@monkeypolicd]

I need a full 3 inch catback exhaust with the tips.

[@BlkWhite466]

Does this allow the sound at coldstart to remain past the 15-20 seconds? Is it louder at idle?

[@Dutch5573]

So all resonators have been deleted? And just an X pipe has been installed? I’m not sure I understand exactly what has been deleted and what has been added on sorry it just seemed a little confusing and some of the comments

[@defiscoop]

my question is why do you need this xpipe if its just a resonator delete? wont paying a muffler shop $200 to delete the resonator and put in a foot and a half straight pipe do the same? just curious

[@gauravtrehan3477]

Other than the x pipe what else has been done to the exhaust? Does it have a downpipe too? How are the pops so much than a normal res delete straight through?

[@ryanjohnston4828]

Only x-pipe

[@Dutch5573]

So you only have deleted one resonator and added the X pipe.? What does the x pipe do that A muffler shop running straight pipes wouldn't do.? I'm asking because i'm not sure of the difference

[@mikemayers9353]

What is the point of a xpipe in a turbo car ?

[@oliverharber12]

is this car tuned at all? are there any other mods on it other than the x pipe? thinking about one of these for my 2018 SQ5

[@ecstuning]

It is stock except for the X-Pipe

@@ecstuning awesome! ordering this for my 2018 sq5😁

[@doryl.3498]

I'm interested in getting one - wondering if it increases the interior cabin noise during highway driving?

[@ecstuning]

Very little, just enough to give it a growl.

[@VegasStacker702]

Does this void factory warranties?

[@ecstuning]

unless the installation of a part or the part itself causes the ultimate failure of another part, no. aftermarket upgrades unless explicitly specified by the vehicle manufacturer will not void a warranty. For instance, if you have this center x-pipe installed and at some point your backup camera stops working, the warranty will still be upheld. However, if you messed up the installation and cut your exhaust too short, the dealer would likely not uphold the warranty claim on repairing the exhaust since it was the result of improper installation. does that make sense?

[@jaredmonez6373]

Are front resonators also removed ?

[@jaredmonez6373]

Yeah, other 2 res removed also? I have xpipe and it doesn’t burble or fart as loud as this.

[@ryanjohnston4828]

@@jaredmonez6373 center resonator only

[@jackmoore6401]

Does the x - pipe install, get droning inside the car?

[@ecstuning]

We haven't found any drone from our testing.

[@ryanjohnston4828]

I have had it from the beginning and it's very comfortable. Comfort mode is very mild, however, any exterior exhaust noise will translate to some cabin noise.. impossible to avoid.

[@jaredpowers7605]

Is the sound coming thru the bumper?😅

Does this fit the 2021? :)

Yes, it should being that its the same drivetrain.

Nice mask LOL

[@toddhogan6245]

Why are you wearing a mask in the car by yourself.?

[@atibbo]

This obviously has a tune, ive never heard a b9 do pops and bangs on a rev

[@jaysullivan8350]

Mine is stock and it pops and bangs even in comfort

[@RogerAlan]

Why does it fart so loudly?

[@fixedwing71]

That's what I'd like to know... I love the sound but don't like all the backfiring.
