M8 X-Pipe vs Straight
As some of y'all know that I did straight pipe it initially and while I loved the sound gains! Crazy loud and almost Ferrari sweet, but did drone, vibrate, rattle real bad!
So I got tempted by another member who managed to put an M5 F90 DINAN X-Pipe and he said it was much better, and no drones And I am here reporting the differences! X-Pipe isn't throaty, isn't loud , isn't sweet! But keeps an M8 civil and while it's lacking a lot in the sound department, yet the droning, rattles, unwanted sounds are all gone! DINAN X-Pipe is almost as civil as stock, which I don't remember now, but the caveat is when I had it straight pipes! I had no plans for an exhaust because it doesn't leave you desiring for more sound gains, but droned really bad! Now I'm left with a slightly louder X-Piped with DINAN 700$ all in, but leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to volume, character, throatiness, burble, crackles and pops! My 2 cents

straight pipe is much more louder but i think x pipe is significantly louder compared to stock m8 (not the competition exhaust) and has more crackles and pops. If you just changed from stock to x pipe you would have felt a significant difference but now given you had a straight pipe before you will feel a downgrade Trust me drive a regular m8 back to back with your x piped one and you will feel how much louder your car is And for 700 dollar total it is not bad |

But it's quite a bit of a downgrade like 50-75% less if everything! I am looking for an exhaust now

I am happier now with DINAN XPipe, certainly more subdued than Straight pipes but zero drone which is a night and day difference! With straights it did drone really bad
