well said

Ok...I didn't realize they were not that valuable used. I'd bet to replace it from BMW it wouldn't be cheap.
But yet the after market ones are 10k...go figure.

You might say it does not have the deep sound because of downpipes but the downpipes were installed after sometime. I don't know whether to give up on msport exhaust and start looking for aftermarket solution or try a different shop to inspect the exhaust…

that's cool！ I wanna do mapping, but my DME is update version. still locking..

It's day and night now… they found the exhaust leak… the previous company has left the hole at the top when welding… probably that was the reason my car didn't pull as it should, and now feels like all the horses are back… also I'm really happy with the xpipe, it has this deeper sound.

I do think the ASD affect the sound. you may give it try

Okay now I truly have a need for Bummer code. I know there are older threads out there with recommended Bluetooth OBD modules for the connectivity but can someone share again?

The key being is although ASD is supposedly only in cabin fabricated sound I can 100% confirm at least in a N850i it alters the exhaust plus the engine/transmission settings. I've posted in the past that when switching from my default setting, i.e., driving mode vs sporty or reduced when set to reduced it 100% killed the exhaust and literally put the car in comfort mode vs my Sport Individual setting.

I have my ASD off which make the exhaust sound at higher pitch.

And I recommend you to buy a obd with wifi or cable. it is much faster in coding.

I have obd Bluetooth, it is really slow in loading and connecting...like 10 sec and 1 minute difference in speed

What was done to the cut pipes going to the middle muffler that was removed? Was there a cap placed on those ends?

I may do the same but cut as close as possible to the two mufflers so the exhaust doesn't travel into a dead end. That would be awful for exhaust gas flow.
