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.

Are you running the Dinan X Pipe? I’m pretty sure all mid x pipes eliminate the resonators.

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.

An X pipe is less raspy than two straight pipes. I would like to hear a H pipe on this motor I think it might sound better again.

Res-delete and x-pipe from the local exhaust shop. I’m in Australia and the cost a Dinan x-pipe which is just some tubing wasn’t worth it.

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

Thanks for input just Dinan just a little to high pitch(raspy) looking for a deep growl lol

Might be on to something with that. I actually just looked into it!!! I hate the raspy sound need that deep growl of that v8. Remus only one I heard that capture it but it’s loud 😫😫 and going to be even louder further down the line with add ons

Anyone has Remus with catted DP? That has video or links to it? Everyone has cat less with that setup.

Dont have a video but i hear it in person, i think it sounds better with catted downpipes and REMUS than catless

Just did a resonator delete with an X pipe on my 2018 M550i. Sounds great.
