Description
Upgrade the sound and flow of your 2024–2026 LCI BMW X5M and BMW X6M with the Dinan High Flow X-Pipe Exhaust System, engineered specifically for S68-powered models.
While the S68 platform introduces updated engine architecture and connection methods, the formula for exceptional sound remains unchanged. The Dinan X-Pipe transforms the factory exhaust note into a smoother, louder, and more aggressive V8 growl — delivering a refined yet commanding tone that perfectly complements BMW’s high-performance SAV lineup.
Designed as a complete mid-section replacement, this system removes the restrictive hydro-formed factory center section and resonator, replacing them with larger 3.25" (83mm) T304 stainless steel tubing for improved exhaust flow and enhanced acoustic performance.
When paired with the Dinan axle-back exhaust, this setup effectively creates a full cat-back system — without requiring cutting of the factory exhaust.
