Thoughts on X--pipe for 22' m550
Greeting everyone, it’s a struggle choosing x pipe. I know it’s not going to give much exhaust note difference but I’m more worried about the long run.
I love Remus tbh. But if I use their catback system now then add catted DP I’m scared it’s going to sound obnoxious! I figure to use x pipe in between hoping to soften the sound later with upgrades.(if that makes sense lol) I’m not interested in str8 pipe setup. Which the problem comes in play lol. Dinan x pipe with Remus axel back? I’ve not seen anyone yet with this setup. Or AA midpipe with Remus axel back. Added even with a valvetronic mid pipe with Remus axel back. Thanks to all who takes time out to respond! |

The X-pipe does not soften the sound, it makes it more high-pitched.
To soften the sound, you need a single midpipe. Since you are set on the downpipe and REMUS exhaust, I recommend you start with the catted downpipe and REMUS axle back. if you want more sound, you can add their midpipe or Dinan X-pipe later.

Since you are concerned about being obnoxious, you sound like a perfect candidate for a full Dinan Catback. It's more of a smooth engineered sound, but remarkable at the same time. Remus may be obnoxious for you.
An X-mid-pipe only with the stock muffler will do absolutely nothing noticeable to the sound. If you go X-pipe you gotta go axle-back.

With res-delete plus x-pipe it’s definitely louder and better than stock in sport/sport+. Also on my 2020 you get nice burbles.

My research and experience is that doing only the Dinan X Pipe is lacking on bang for the buck. Maybe other solutions with the stock muffler provide better results.

I have to agree, I'm currently running a Dinan x pipe with stock muffler and essentially eliminates the two resonators creating significantly louder pops and crackles in sport+ mode. In comfort mode sounds pretty much the same as a stock setup, although in my case I have slight drone at idle. Possibly adding the full Dinan cat back setup eliminates the drone but not willing to fork out $$ to see if it resolves it.

Doing x-pipe and not doing res-delete wouldn’t do much. |
