Great comparison, this sounds fantastic and I also enjoyed the install video, thank you for sharing! I would love to see some footage of the interior sound as well while driving just to get an idea of the tone from the driver's seat. I believe on the F8X platform they had a resonated and non-resonated version of the equal length mid-pipe. This one for the G87 looks like it's non-resonated only, have you noticed any rasp or buzzing from it?
Hard to say about LEO.. but it's not obnoxiously loud especially in comparison to some setups. Little bit louder, little bit deeper, and more pronounced burble.. its perfect. I haven't heard the Dinan yet.
I dont have sound measurements of the difference but there definitely is some. In efficient mode its only slightly louder, though noticable at cold start. Sport mode/flaps open (especially with a Dahler flap controller) its much more noticeable, lower, deeper and louder with more pronounced burbles.
Sounds so good!
Thank you my friend!!

No rasp and only non resonated, unlike my F87 where I compared them all. Exhaust back box install and comparison coming soon!
Sounds awesome, do you think it will get the attention of the cops at full throttle? Have you heard the Dinan X pipe?

That is a pretty significant difference - sounds mean n nasty! Did removing the resonators add any drone?
No.. start up is definitely louder but no drone
@@BMWDIYGuy Thanks for the quick reply! I watch a lot of your videos - great stuff.
@@cygnusx1864 thank you!
How much louder is it inside? Loud enough that you can turn off the ADM and hear your exhaust?

Hey, DIY Guy!
Can I ask why you went with equal length vs single midpipe?! Waiting on a 2025 and trying to get my ducks in order
@jdbsoccer100 I prefer the tone of the EL. Both are great products, but sound differently for sure. The EL has been my preference since the F8Xs.
Is it with stock exhaust and only changed the midpipe?
Correct, just midpipe.
